CHIEF EXECUTIVE

GOOD STRATEGIC AND OPERATIONAL PROGRESS AND SOLID FRANCHISE 
FUNDAMENTALS, BUT FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE BELOW EXPECTATIONS

In 2019 SA economic growth was much 
slower than expected as recessionary-like 
conditions prevailed. This was mainly due 
to severe and frequent power outages, the 
unsustainable fiscal trajectory and ongoing 
policy uncertainty, combined with a 
deteriorating global outlook. Under these 
difficult domestic conditions, company profits 
and household finances deteriorated during 
the year, resulting in subdued credit demand, 
lower transactional volume growth and rising 
defaults in the SA banking industry. 

In this environment Nedbank Group’s financial 
performance was below expectations 
as headline earnings declined 7,3% to 
R12,5bn and the group produced an ROE 
(excluding goodwill) of 16,0%. In addition to the 
challenging environment, headline earnings 
were impacted by additional items in 
the second half of the year, including 
hyperinflation in Zimbabwe (R142m 
headline earnings impact) and the raising 
of impairments against recoverability of 
recognised intercompany legacy debt 
(R44m), the exercise of an option that 
will increase our shareholding in Banco 
Único (R140m) from 50% plus one share to 
approximately 87,5% (subject to regulatory 
approval), the revaluing of a number 
of private-equity investments as the 
underlying investee company performance 
was weaker and public market multiples 
declined (R238m), and the increase in 
impairments to just above the midpoint 
of our target range of 60 bps to 100 bps 
as a result of increased impairments 
raised on certain CIB watchlist items and 

an increase in the central impairment. 
This was partially offset by good cost 
management due to the ongoing benefits 
from optimisation of processes and 
operations as part of our digital journey, 
and as a result our cost-to-income ratio 
improved from 57,2% to 56,5%.

We continued to make good strategic and 
operational progress throughout the year 
and produced solid balance sheet growth 
with advances up 7% and deposits growing 
9,5%. A key focus was the operational 
rollout of our digital onboarding capability 
for individuals visiting branches and 
using the Money app and online banking, 
alongside our ability to sell current 
accounts and personal loans digitally, 
as well as pilots for cards, investment 
products and overdrafts. In addition, 
we launched our refreshed loyalty and 
rewards programme together with various 
market-leading digital innovations. As our 
clients began to experience the value 
from our digital journey and improved 
service levels, Nedbank ended the year 
as the only SA bank to have improved its 
Net Promoter Score (NPS) and on client 
satisfaction metrics became the second 
highest-rated bank in SA.  

SA’s economic growth prospects remain 
subdued, undermined by persistent energy 
constraints, weak government finances 
and slow progress on structural reforms 
combined with a weaker outlook for global 
growth. In this difficult SA macroeconomic 
environment, where we currently forecast 

OVERVIEW OF OUR ANNUAL RESULTS

GDP growth in 2020 to be only 0,7%, and 
given our 2019 base, our guidance for 
growth in diluted headline earnings per 
share for 2020 is to be around nominal GDP 
growth. Our medium-to-long-term financial 
targets for ROE (excluding goodwill) and 
the cost-to-income ratio in 2020 were 
communicated to the market in early 2018, 
when GDP growth was forecast to be 
materially higher than what has transpired, 
and as a result, credit growth and interest 
rates (endowment impact) were also 
forecast to be higher than what took place. 
To reflect the deterioration in these metrics 
since 2018 we have revised the timelines for 
achievement of these medium-to-long-term 
financial targets to be more reflective of 
the current weaker economic environment, 
which we expect to persist. For ROE (now 
including goodwill), our medium-term target 
(two to three years) is now greater than 
17% and our long-term target (five or more 
years) is greater than cost of equity plus 
4%. For the cost-to-income ratio we are now 
targeting less than 53% in the medium term 
and less than 50% in the long term as our 
digital journey matures and enables ongoing 
efficiencies.

macroeconomic environment

▪ Advances +7%: Good advances growth but 

pressure on margins impacting NII 

▪ NIR -4%: Impacted by negative private equity 

revaluations & a high 2018 base

▪ CLR at 26 bps (2018: 4 bps): Increased off a 

low base but still within target range

investment in skills & technology

▪ Headline earnings -8%

− NII +3%: steady international deposit growth 

offset by a decline in US interest rates

− NIR -1.4%: lower brokerage, portfolio & asset 
management fees & higher non-life claims 
ratio

− Expenses +3%: below inflationary growth 

− CLR at 18 bps (+5 bps): increase in 

impairments off a low base with worsening 
macro environment in the fourth quarter  

1 During 2016, the group changed its capital allocation methodology. The ROE for 2015 would have been 36.7% using the updated methodology.

2019 RESULTS 
COMMENTARY 

BANKING AND ECONOMIC ENVIRONMENT 
The global landscape deteriorated and financial market volatility 
increased and persisted for much of 2019. International investors 
became more risk-averse on growing fears of a global recession 
as the evidence of slower growth in many countries accumulated, 
triggered by an escalation in the trade war between the US and 
China, although monetary conditions and trade tensions eased 
somewhat towards the end of the year. While US growth remained 
robust, most other developed countries experienced a significant 
loss of momentum. Emerging markets were hard hit by the rise 
in protectionism and the decline in global trade. Growth in China 
moderated to its slowest pace since 1992 and the emerging impact 
of the corona virus is expected to reduce growth even further. 
Country-specific political and structural factors, together with the 
disruptive impact of climate change, compounded the challenges 
of most other emerging markets, including those in sub-Saharan 
Africa. Hyperinflation eroded the value of the Zimbabwean 
dollar as the country transitioned from a dual-currency system to a 
mono-currency Zimbabwean dollar system, with the inflation index 
reaching 552% in December 2019. 

In SA power outages continued to disrupt production and spending 
in the economy. Financial and operational challenges at many 
state-owned enterprises (SOEs) and Eskom in particular resulted 
in further bailouts by government, placing more pressure on an 
already strained fiscus. Government’s debt metrics deteriorated 
further and SA’s last remaining investment-grade sovereign risk 
rating remains at risk. The process of restoring good governance 
and rebuilding institutional capacity has started, but there has 
been little visible progress in bringing those who were complicit in 
state capture and corruption to book and reforms at the critically 
important SOEs have been too slow. Business confidence reached 
seven-year lows as policy uncertainty increased. While some 
companies increased investment in new technologies, automation 
and improved processes, expansionary investment in new 
production capacity continued to decline, resulting in higher levels 
of unemployment and growing numbers of discouraged workers. 
The economy contracted over two quarters and is estimated to 
grow by only 0,3% in 2019, which will be down from an already 
modest 0,8% in 2018. 

Growth in consumer spending slowed down significantly, impacted 
by rising unemployment and slower wage growth. Encouragingly, 
household balance sheets were little changed as the ratio of 
household debt to disposable income was relatively steady at 
72,7% throughout 2019. 

Inflation surprised on the downside in 2019, ending the year at a 
subdued 4,0%, contained mainly by weak domestic demand and 
low food prices, which offset the impact of a moderately weaker 
rand and volatile oil prices. In response to the benign inflation 
outcomes and improved inflation outlook, SARB’s Monetary Policy 
Committee cut interest rates by 25 bps in July 2019, followed by 
another cut of 25 bps in January 2020. 

The overall conditions in the banking sector remained very 
challenging in 2019, with the weak economic environment resulting 
in subdued client demand for most categories of credit and a 
slowdown in transactional banking activity and deal flow. Credit 
risks increased given the ongoing pressures on household incomes 
and company profits. 

REVIEW OF RESULTS
Nedbank Group’s financial performance in 2019 was below our 
expectations in a very difficult macroeconomic environment 
as HE declined 7,3% to R12,5bn and the group produced an 
ROE (excluding goodwill) of 16,0%. In addition to the challenging 
environment, HE was impacted by additional items in the second 
half of the year, including hyperinflation in Zimbabwe (R142m HE 
impact) and the raising of impairments against recoverability on 
recognised intercompany legacy debt (R44m), the exercise of an 
option that will increase our shareholding in Banco Único (R140m) 
from 50% plus one share to approximately 87,5% (subject to 
regulatory approval), the revaluing of a number of private-equity 
investments as the underlying investee company performance 
was weaker and public market multiples declined (R238m), 
and the increase in impairments to just above the midpoint of 
our target range of 60 bps to 100 bps as a result of increased 
impairments raised on certain CIB watchlist items and an increase 
in the central impairment. Growth was also impacted by the 
high NIR base from the closure of round 4 renewable-energy 
deals in 2018 and the onset of Youth Employment Service costs 
(YES) (R96m) in 2019. Preprovisioning operating profit growth of 
2,7% reflects good cost management offsetting slower revenue 
growth. The impact of buying back and cancelling seven million 
shares as a result of the odd-lot offer in December 2018 (following 
the conclusion of the Old Mutual Managed Separation process) 
resulted in a DHEPS decline of 6,3%, which was slightly lower than 
the decline in HE. 

IFRS 16, dealing with the accounting for leases, was implemented 
on 1 January 2019. This resulted in lower levels of equity, higher 
levels of assets and liabilities, as well as accounting changes 
between NII and expenses. These changes were prospective, with 
no restatements of the 2018 comparatives. 

ROE (excluding goodwill) and ROE were lower than December 
2019 at 16,0% and 15,0% respectively. ROA decreased 20 bps to 
1,13% and the return on RWA decreased from 2,40% to 2,02%.

NAV per share of 18 204 cents increased 3,7%. The benefit to NAV 
from earnings was partially offset by the day 1 impact of IFRS 16 
(R0,7bn). 

Our IFRS 9 fully phased-in CET1 and tier 1 capital ratios of 
11,5% and 12,8% respectively, average LCR for the fourth quarter of 
125% and an NSFR of 113% are all Basel III-compliant and reflective 
of a strong balance sheet. On the back of our solid capital and 
liquidity position, a final dividend of 695 cents was declared, with 
the total dividend for the year of 1 415 cents being in line with the 
prior year.

DELIVERING SUSTAINABLY TO ALL OUR STAKEHOLDERS
Nedbank continues to play an important role in society and in the economy, and we remain committed to delivering on our purpose of 
using our financial expertise to do good. We contribute to the wellbeing and growth of the societies in which we operate by delivering 
value to our staff, clients, shareholders, regulators and society.

For staff

We currently employ 29 403 staffmembers and paid 
salaries and benefits of R17,3bn over the period under review. 
Our bargaining-unit staff received annual salary increases 
of 7,0% in 2019, ahead of inflation, and with management 
and executives receiving increases below 4,5%, the blended 
average staff salaries increased by 5,4%. We have refreshed 
our Employee Value Proposition by launching our People 
Promise, which is anchored in Nedbank being a purpose-led 
organisation, while actively working towards positioning the 
bank as an employer of choice for top talent. As part of our 
groupwide People 2020 programme aimed at transforming 
and aligning our culture and talent with our strategic objectives, 
our executive management programmes have evolved to 
be more digitally focused while equipping leaders to lead in 
environments of ambiguity and exponential change. During 
the year we invested over R337m in external training. Our new 
Ways of Work (nWoW) practices to transform Nedbank into a 
more agile organisation, holistically rethinking the way we work, 
communicate and manage talent on our journey to creating a 
more high-performing culture, are evident in the formation of 
more than 150 squads (involving 3 000 staffmembers) working 
according to this new approach. Through the Agility Centre we 
have enhanced our redeployment solutions to provide better 
support for staff displaced as a result of optimisation efforts 
and organisational changes. Consequently, 620 staffmembers 
were successfully redeployed during 2019 and retrenchments 
were limited to 158. Our staff engagement score was strong at 
75% and is 8% above industry levels. Transformation remains 
a key imperative to ensuring Nedbank remains relevant in a 
transforming society and we have continued to focus on this 
across all levels at Nedbank, from our board of directors to all 
our staffmembers. Currently, black representation at board level 
is 69%, at executive level it is 46% and for our total staff it is just 
more than 79%. Female representation at board level is 25%, at 
executive level is 46% and for total staff is 62%. 

For clients 

We supported our clients by advancing R208bn (2018: R181bn) in 
new loans to enable them to finance their homes, vehicles 
and education, as well as to grow their businesses, while 
safeguarding R904bn of deposits at competitive rates. 
Our clients’ access to banking improved as digitally active 
retail users increased by 16% to 1,8 million. Rooted in deep client 
insights, we launched new market-leading digital innovations, 
such as end-to-end digital client onboarding of individuals 
(paperless, quicker and fully FICA-enabled), together with the 
ability to sell transactional accounts as well as personal loans, 
and pilots for investment products, credit cards and overdrafts. 
The Nedbank Money app has been downloaded 3,9 million 
times since its launch; the app and the Nedbank Private Wealth 
app, remained two of the highest-rated SA banking apps on 
the Apple and Google app stores. By the end of 2019 we had 
launched three zero-monthly-fee accounts: pay-as-you-use 
(PAYU), Unlocked.Me and MobiMoney. Our Money Secrets brand 
campaign has been positively received, getting South Africans 
to talk about money as a first step to making positive and 
sustainable money management changes. In terms of client 
experience, Nedbank was the only bank to improve its Net 
Promoter Score (NPS) in 2019, showing a positive move from 
37% in 2018 to 38%, and on the SAcsi client satisfaction index 
we became the highest-rated large SA bank. CIB continued 
to lead industry league tables in various categories, coming 
first in deal flow for M&A advisors and third in deal value 
for M&A sponsors, as well as winning the BEE deal of the 
year. The business was also ranked number one for debt capital 

market bond issuances in 2019. Our asset management business, 
Nedgroup Investments, was named Offshore Management 
Company of the Year for the fifth consecutive year at the Raging 
Bull Awards. 

For shareholders

On 20 August 2019 Nedbank celebrated its 50th year of being 
listed on the JSE, illustrating the group’s strong foundations 
and sustainable business model. We were disappointed that, 
following a strong performance in 2018, when our share price 
increased 7% (Banks index down 5% and FINI 15 down 8%), the 
Nedbank share price was down 22% in 2019 compared with 
the Banks index and the FINI 15, which were down 5% and 
4% respectively. At our 52nd annual general meeting (AGM) 
all resolutions were passed and, following engagements 
with shareholders and enhancements to our remuneration 
practices, we were pleased that our remuneration policy and 
disclosure resolutions received more than 98% of votes in favour. 
We continued to ensure transparent, relevant and timeous 
reporting and disclosure to shareholders, and consequently 
Nedbank became the first SA company to be named the overall 
winner across three prestigious reporting and communication 
awards in the same year: overall winner among JSE-listed 
companies at the Investment Analyst Society Awards, the EY 
Excellence in Integrated Reporting Awards and the CSSA/JSE 
Integrated Reporting Awards. Additionally, our Remuneration 
Report was recognised at the 2019 South African Reward 
Association Awards for the outstanding contribution that 
Nedbank has made in reporting on remuneration issues in a 
trustworthy and transparent manner. In the context of greater 
shareholder focus on environment, social and governance 
(ESG) matters, we are proactively engaging with shareholders 
on climate change resolutions, discussing both our thermal 
coal lending policy and process for assessment of climate risk, 
and these will be tabled at our AGM in May 2020. Nedbank’s 
valuation metrics remain attractive, with price/earnings and 
price-to-book ratios of 8,2 times and 1,2 times respectively and a 
dividend yield of 6,6% at 31 December 2019.

For regulators

We achieved compliance with Basel III requirements ahead of the 
full compliance timelines, including having a strong capital position 
and achieving a CET1 ratio of 11,5% after the fully phased-in 
day 1 impact of IFRS 9 (9 bps impact in 2019), an average LCR 
of 125% in the fourth quarter of 2019 and an NSFR of 113% at 
December 2019. We have invested over R111bn in government 
and public sector bonds as part of our high-quality liquid asset 
(HQLA) requirements and, in doing so, remain committed to 
making a meaningful contribution to the countries in which we 
operate, thereby appropriately supporting the funding needs 
of governments. Cash taxation payments across the group of 
R11,5bn were made relating to direct, indirect and employee taxes, 
as well as other taxation. We continued to engage and work with 
all our relevant regulators to ensure effective delivery of the 
various regulatory programmes, with positive outcomes achieved 
in 2019 across various regulatory requirements, including a focus 
on the Financial Intelligence Centre Amendment Act (FICAA), 
IFRS 9 and Risk Data Aggregation and Risk Reporting (RDARR). 
Our compliance model ensures that appropriate controls 
are in place to enable compliance with applicable regulatory 
requirements and remediation where we fall short, and we 
continue to leverage compliance as a strategic differentiator.

COMMENTARY

For society

Our long-term sustainability and success are contingent on 
the degree to which we deliver value to society. Through the 
considered development and delivery of products and services 
that satisfy societal needs and through our own operations, we 
play our part to enable a thriving society, create long-term value 
and maintain trust to ensure the success of our brand. This is 
particularly important in the current context of SA as well as 
the broader African continent.

We have adopted the United Nations Sustainable Developments 
Goals (SDGs) as a framework for measuring delivery on our 
purpose. We continued to make progress in driving groupwide 
adoption, awareness and delivery of the targeted nine SDGs 
goals in order to bring our purpose truly to life. Key highlights 
include the following:

•  Quality education (SDG 4) – Over the past five years Nedbank 
has provided approximately 5 500 students with student loans 
to the value of R191m. A total of R45,3m of this was disbursed 
to support almost 758 students in 2019. The provision of 
affordable accommodation close to tertiary institutions was a 
key focus for the year, with an investment of R1,8bn to clients 
that delivered an additional 8 292 beds. More than 50% of our 
R130m of CSI spend was directed to a mix of early-childhood 
development, primary, secondary and tertiary education 
initiatives. Included in this is support of programmes such as the 
Ikusasa Student Financial Aid Programme (ISFAP) and provision 
of bursaries for scarce skills to nearly 240 students. We also 
provided education support through bursaries to 860 Nedbank 
staffmembers and once-off education grants to 2 150 of our 
staffmembers’ children – the value of this combined investment 
was almost R18m for 2019. Our sponsorship of the Thuthuka 
Education Upliftment Fund supports 45 students a year and 
since inception we have contributed more than R26m and 
funded the qualification of 49 new black chartered accountants 
in SA.

•  Clean water and sanitation (SDG 6) – We provided a R550m 

general banking facility for Rand Water to assist in the 
provision of bulk potable water in SA, as well as the provision 
of R556m to the Trans-Caledon Tunnel Authority for three 
water projects that are of key importance to the country’s 
water supply. In terms of our own operations, as a result of 
strict water restriction measures and floorspace consolidation, 
our own total water consumption across all Nedbank campus 
sites decreased by 10,3% in 2019. In addition, through the WWF 
Nedbank Green Trust we have invested more than R93m in 
41 water and conservation projects over the past five years. 
Altogether 11 of those projects and an investment of nearly 
R23m focused on water (fresh and marine) in particular.  

•  Affordable and clean energy (SDG 7) – In 2019 we became 
the first SA commercial bank to launch a green bond on the 
JSE, raising R1,7bn in the first issuance and a further R1,0bn in 
the second issuance to fund solar and wind renewable-energy 
projects. To date we have arranged 42 renewable-energy 
projects in South Africa’s Renewable Energy Independent 
Power Producing Procurement (REIPPP) programme, 
with 2019 seeing us advancing significant capital into the 
construction of the fourth round of projects, which will 
start coming on stream in 2020. Through the deployment 
of pioneering financing solutions, we also concluded 
transactions worth over R700m with leading developers in 
the embedded-generation space as well as our commercial 
and agriculture clients. In addition, R800m of our property 
lending over the past financial year went towards funding 
the installation of solar power facilities. Nedbank also 
hosted bi-monthly Energy Dialogues in partnership with 
EE Publishers, bringing together over 1 000 energy sector 
stakeholders looking for solutions to SA’s energy challenges. 
In our insurance business we commercialised our geyser 

telemetry product, Senseable, benefitting clients through 
electricity savings and consequently reducing carbon emissions.

•  Decent work and economic growth (SDG 8) – The Nedbank 
Stokvel Account, which was launched in 2018 to provide safe, 
easy and effective ways for groups of individuals to pool 
their savings and grow their money, has attracted over 
4 500 stokvel groups with more than 155 000 members. 
We continued to participate in the CEO Initiative and the 
projects it initiated, working with government, business and 
labour towards a more inclusive SA society. In April 2019 we 
activated our commitment to the YES initiative, through 
corporate SA aims to provide internship opportunities for more 
than one million South Africans. This is estimated to translate 
into an annual investment of approximately 1,5% of net profit 
after tax (SA business) and in 2019 cost us R134m pretax. 
We placed 3 315 previously unemployed youth both directly and 
through sponsored placements.

•  Industry, innovation and infrastructure (SDG 9) – In addition 
to funding water and energy infrastructure, we participated 
in the loan facility for Ethiopian Railways to assist with the 
construction of a 404 km strategic railway corridor linking 
passengers and freight in the northern, central and eastern 
regions of Ethiopia. We also provided R400m for the expansion 
of telecommunications across the continent and provided 
dollar-based funding for the provision of hospitals in support of 
the Zambian government.

•  Reduced inequalities (SDG 10) – In 2019 we reached a total 
of 141 000 clients through financial wellness workshops. 
A further 6,1 million individuals were reached through radio 
and television shows, reinforcing our message around 
money management, touching on topics such as budgeting, 
savings and debt management. We have also provided 
financial training to almost 400 000 youths and more than 
1 200 entrepreneurs. From 1 April 2019 fees for the PAYU 
Account were reduced from R5,50 monthly to zero and during 
the year we opened more than 400 000 accounts. In our 
own operations, we retained our BBBEE contributor status of 
level 1 as measured under the Amended Financial Sector Code 
(FSC) and 76% of our procurement spend was used to support 
local SA business. 

•  Sustainable cities and communities (SDG 11) – We provided 

R1,1bn for the development of affordable housing for 
lower-income households, bringing our five-year investment in 
this key sector to R4,2bn. We also provided funding of R277m 
for the construction of buildings that conform to green-building 
standards. 

•  Responsible consumption and production (SDG 12) – Over 
the period we invested nearly R800m in the recycling sector 
through the provision of funding that will create jobs in the 
sector and develop new facilities to reuse plastic, thereby 
stopping it from ending up in landfill. We also applied our 
investment expertise to the agriculture sector to contribute to 
its transformation, its farming practices as well as secondary 
agriculture industries. Particular interventions include the 
positive uptake of R100m for our shade-netting offering, 
building on the positive takeup of water efficiency interventions 
in 2018. 

•  Life on land (SDG 15) – Nedbank provided mining rehabilitation 
guarantees of R320m in 2019 as well as a R700 000 investment 
in a WWF Nedbank Green Trust Project – the Mining 
Incubator, which is encouraging more sustainable practices 
in the mining sector. In addition, through our water source 
partnership with the WWF-SA we are focused on safeguarding 
critical water source areas, biodiversity hotspots and rural 
livelihoods. This partnership sees R5m invested annually to 
coordinate efforts by a range of stakeholders in chosen water 
source areas. Activities include alien invasive tree removal, 
the rehabilitation of springs, implementation of grazing 
programmes and piloting of new rural development models.

CIB HE declined 8,1% to R6,2bn while delivering an ROE of 17,7%. 
HE was primarily impacted by an increase in the CLR to 26 bps 
from 4 bps in the prior year, as well as lower private-equity 
revaluations. NII growth of 2,0% was underpinned by solid 
growth in banking advances (+6,8%) as pipeline deals were 
converted. NIR declined by 4,1%, impacted by subdued client 
activity, a decrease in private-equity income and base effects 
from the fourth round of renewable-energy deals concluded in 
H2 2018. Notwithstanding the increase in CLR to within CIB’s TTC 
target range of 15 bps to 45 bps, credit quality remained sound in 
a difficult environment, supported by proactive risk management, 
and close monitoring and management of specific counters and 
exposures to stressed sectors of the economy, such as cement, 
construction, retail and selected SOEs. Preprovisioning operating 
profit (PPOP) growth was down 1,1%.

HE in RBB declined 1,6% to R5,3bn and ROE was 17,3%. The lower 
HE was mainly due to cyclically higher impairment charges. 
The CLR increased to 138 bps and is now within the lower half 
of the cluster’s TTC target range of 130 to 180 bps. Revenue 
growth was solid as NII increased by 6,1%, while NIR increased 
by 5,8% as main-banked clients in the middle and professional 
segments grew while main banked clients in the entry-level 
and youth segments decreased. Low expense growth was 
enabled by ongoing optimisations of processes and operations, 
including headcount reductions of 1 876, largely through natural 
attrition. RBB delivered a strong PPOP increase of 11,4%, reflecting 
continuing growth of the franchise.

Nedbank Wealth HE was down by 8,0% to R1 042m, with ROE of 
24,8% due to 0,3% revenue decline in a challenging macroeconomic 
environment and poor market conditions. Negative investor 
confidence and lacklustre GDP growth in SA impacted 
revenue streams in the local Wealth Management businesses. 
The international Wealth Management business achieved good 
underlying growth despite being adversely impacted by declining 
interest rates. The Insurance business was negatively affected by 
an increase in weather-related claims in the first half of the year. 
Asset Management was impacted by AUM outflows experienced 
in the latter part of 2018 as well as changing investor behaviour 
towards lower-margin and lower-risk asset classes. 

As of January 2020, the Rest of Africa business rebranded and 
changed its name to Nedbank Africa Regions. Africa Regions’ HE 
decreased by 35,0% to R457m and ROE declined to 7,7% mainly 
due to hyperinflation accounting in Zimbabwe implemented from 
1 July 2019, once-off adjustments, higher impairments and 
lower associate income in Q4 2019 as we accounted for ETI’s 
Q3 2019 results. The SADC business performance was affected 
by continued macroeconomic pressures across the region, 
especially in Zimbabwe, where the application of hyperinflation 
accounting resulted in a net monetary loss of R296m and HE loss 
of R142m. 

The performance in the Centre reflects the increase in the central 
impairment in the second half of the year of R250m to account 
for risks that have been incurred but not yet emerged and a final 
postretirement medical-aid (PRMA) credit amounting to R255m 
(after tax) booked on the ongoing policy uncertainty in the first 
half of the year following finalisation of outstanding tax matters, 
compared with a R180m (after tax) credit in 2018. These were 
offset by YES costs of R96m (after tax) and R140m (after tax) 
relating to Nedbank accounting for the exercise of an option that 
will increase our shareholding in Banco Único from 50% plus one 
share to 87,5% (subject to regulatory approval).

FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE 
Net interest income
NII increased 4,7% to R30 167m, supported by AIEBA growth of 
8,6%. The AIEBA growth was driven by solid growth in advances 
and higher levels of HQLA held in the banking book. 

NIM decreased by 13 bps to 3,52% from 3,65% in December 
2018. A negative endowment impact due to lower net 
endowment balances, partially offset by the slightly higher 
average prime rate in 2019 of 10,14% compared with 10,09% in 
2018, decreased NIM by 3 bps. Asset pricing contributed a 6 bps 
decline, with pressure most evident in Personal Loans (NCA 
pricing caps) and competitive pricing on wholesale advances. 
The implementation of IFRS 16 on 1 January 2019 decreased NIM 
by 4 bps. 

Impairments charge on loans and advances 
Impairments increased strongly off the low prior-year 
base, impacted by the deteriorating SA macroeconomic 
environment. The impairment charge increased 66,2% to 
R6 129m and CLR was up from 53 bps to 82 bps and as a 
result moved from below the bottom end to around the midpoint 
of the group’s TTC target range of 60 bps to 100 bps. 

Impairments in CIB increased off a low base, with its CLR 
at 26 bps, now within the lower half of its TTC target range 
of 15 bps to 45 bps. Stage 2 impairments increased as a 
result of favourable movements from stage 3 advances, and 
this is evident in the CLR for Commercial Property Finance 
improving to -2 bps, underpinned by proactive restructuring 
and resolution of defaulted counters. Stage 3 impairments 
increased in specific counters, particularly those operating in the 
construction and cement, retail and telecommunication sectors. 
Stage 3 impairments are individually determined in CIB and 
are dependent on the value of the collateral we hold for each 
exposure. 

RBB’s CLR, at 138 bps, increased cyclically to just above the 
bottom end of its TTC target range of 130 bps to 180 bps as a 
result of risk normalisation off a low base and increased levels 
of consumer stress driven by a deteriorating macroeconomic 
environment. The CLR for MFC increased to 182 bps due to higher 
levels of repossessions and writeoffs as well as increased inflow 
into debt counselling. Business Banking has seen an increase in 
CLR to 50 bps, with risk becoming increasingly evident in the 
portfolio as clients experience the continued impact of the low 
business confidence and constrained economy intensified by 
rising costs, low demand and intermittent load-shedding. The CLR 
increase for Unsecured Lending to 639 bps is marginally 
higher than expectations, driven primarily by the deteriorating 
macroeconomic environment as well as the negative collections 
impact of a change to regulation around setoff. Home Loans 
credit losses, at 14 bps, continue to reflect a high-quality book. 

The group’s central provision decreased in the first half of the 
year by R50m to R100m as the underlying risks for which these 
central provisions had been raised emerged in the clusters. In the 
second half we increased the provision by R150m to R250m 
to account for risks that have been incurred but have not yet 
emerged.

Stage 3 (defaulted) advances increased 9,5% to R27,6bn, driven 
by a 22,5% increase in RBB as the weaker economic environment 
placed additional stress on consumers, which in turn led 
to increased levels of defaults, particularly in MFC (vehicle finance), 
Business Banking and Unsecured Lending. This was partially 
offset by a 28,1% reduction in CIB stage 3 advances, primarily 
as a result of the successful restructuring, curing and rerating 
of clients. Approximately 85% of CIB stage 3 advances are 
concentrated in 10 counters. 

The stage 1 coverage ratio increased to 0,49% 
(December 2018: 0,45%), and the stage 2 coverage ratio 
increased to 5,31% (December 2018: 4,97%) as portfolio 
provisioning levels increased largely in line with advances growth. 
The stage 3 coverage ratio increased to 38,0% (December 
2018: 36,8%) given the mix impact from the higher contribution 
of RBB stage 3 advances. RBB stage 3 coverage decreased 
from 46,0% to 41,6%, mainly as a result of lower loss expectations 
for stage 3 clients, an increase in distressed restructures and 
a revision of point of writeoff in Card. Stage 3 coverage for 
CIB increased to 24,6% from 11,6% as a result of the change of 
composition in defaults.

Non-interest revenue 
NIR was flat at R25 997m, primarily impacted by lower 
private-equity revaluations and a high base from 
renewable-energy deals in 2018.

•  Commission and fee income grew 2,5% to R18 739m as RBB 
reported solid underlying retail transactional NIR growth 
of 6,3%, supported by solid main-banked client growth in 
the more profitable middle, professional and SME client 
segments, while youth and entry-level client segments 
decreased. Commission and fee income in CIB fell 1,0% and 
was adversely impacted by subdued client activity and a high 
2018 base. 

• 

Insurance income was slightly down at R1 837m due to higher 
weather-related claims in the first half of 2019 and lower life 
reserve releases, partly offset by improved investment returns 
and volume growth.   

•  Trading income increased 2,1% to R4 524m despite low volatility 

and decreased volumes from a high base in 2018. 

•  Private-equity income declined, primarily due to downward 

revaluation of unrealised investments as the subdued 
macroeconomic environment impacted the profitability of 
certain counters.

•  Other NIR declined, mainly as a result of Nedbank accounting 

for the exercise of an option that will increase our shareholding 
in Banco Único from 50% plus one share to 87,5% (subject to 
regulatory approval).

Expenses
Expenses grew 1,7% to R32 179m. Higher levels of amortisation 
from the ongoing investment in technology as part of our 
Managed Evolution IT strategy were offset by ongoing 
optimisation initiatives. 

•  Staff-related costs decreased by 0,7%, following:

 » average annual salary increases of 5,4% and a reduction 

in staff numbers of 1 874 in 2019 largely through 
natural attrition;

 » a 24,6% decrease in STIs impacted by the group’s financial 
performance and a 22,2% decrease in LTIs as expected 
vesting ratios have reduced due to underperformance 
against corporate performance targets; and

 » finalisation in the first half of the settlement with our staff 
with regard to PRMA obligations and benefits, resulting in 
a final pretax credit of R354m in respect of a reversal of 
actuarially estimated liabilities previously expensed. In the 
first half of 2018 an initial pretax credit of R250m was raised. 

•  Computer-processing costs increased 12,4% to R4 878m, 

driven by the expected increase in the amortisation charge 
of 21,8% and higher processing volumes, offset by reduced 
network-related costs as a result of efficiency savings. 

•  Fees and insurance increased by 4,1% as a result of association 

fees and fees related to digital innovations.

•  Other cost lines are being well managed, with increases below 
inflation. In addition, we unlocked cumulative benefits of R1 147m 
(2018: R680m) from process enhancements and implementing 
our Target Operating Model (TOM). Other costs also include 
Nedbank’s first-time participation in the YES initiative to the 
value of R134m pretax (2018: nil). 

The group’s growth in expenses of 1,7% was below total revenue 
and associate income growth of 3,0%, resulting in a positive jaws 
ratio of 1,3% and a cost-to-income ratio of 56,5%, compared with 
57,2% in December 2018. The JAWS ratio, excluding associate 
income, was 0,8%.

Hyperinflation accounting in Zimbabwe
On 11 October 2019 the Zimbabwe Public Accountants 
and Auditors Board’s announced that Zimbabwe is in 
hyperinflation. Consequently, Nedbank applied IAS 29 in 
accounting for our operations in Zimbabwe, where we hold 66% 
of the company’s equity. The key drivers included: a) adjusting 
opening equity with the closing CPI index at 6,21 times and 
similarly reducing the income statement by R246m (this 
adjustment had no impact on NAV), b) recording gains from 
the indexing of non-monetary assets (eg fixed assets) of R30m 
and c) indexing the income statement, resulting in an increase in 
certain lines and an equal and opposite charge in the monetary 
loss line in the income statement of R80m. The HE impact of these 
adjustments is R142m after adjusting for minorities. The NAV of 
Nedbank Zimbabwe at 31 December 2019 was R123m. The HE loss 
is driven by inflation as well as the weaker Zimbabwean dollar 
versus the rand. 

Earnings from associates 
Associate income includes R668m (2018: R608m) relating to ETI 
as a result of ETI reporting an attributable profit in the fourth 
quarter of 2018 and the first three quarters of 2019, in line with our 
policy of accounting for our share of ETI’s attributable earnings 
a quarter in arrear. The total effect of ETI on the group’s HE was 
a profit of R437m (2018: R375m), including the R231m of funding 
costs. 

Accounting for associate income, together with Nedbank’s 
share of ETI’s other comprehensive income and movements 
in Nedbank’s FCTR, resulted in the carrying value of the 
group’s strategic investment in ETI decreasing from R3,2bn at 
31 December 2018 to R2,7bn at 31 December 2019. ETI’s listed 
share price on the Nigerian Stock Exchange decreased 53,6% 
during 2019, which resulted in the market value of the group’s 
investment in ETI (at the Nafex rate) decreasing to R1,3bn at 
31 December 2019. 

Due to the prolonged decline of ETI’s listed share price below its 
carrying value, Nedbank reviewed its impairment provision at 
31 December 2019. Management’s value-in-use analysis supports 
the current carrying value of our investment. Our position will be 
reassessed again at 30 June 2020 and at year-end.

STATEMENT OF FINANCIAL POSITION
Capital 
The group remains well capitalised, at levels significantly above 
the minimum regulatory requirements. The CET1 ratio of 11,5% 
was impacted by the implementation of IFRS 16 on 1 January 2019 
(R658m reduction in equity and R3,4bn increase in RWA), the 
ongoing investment in software development costs as part of the 
group’s Managed Evolution programme, the adverse impact of 
changes in foreign currency translation reserves, increase in RWA 
due to migration in certain credit portfolios, credit model updates 
and capital optimisation initiatives. 

The total tier 1 CAR was positively impacted by the issuance of 
additional tier 1 instruments totalling R3,5bn. This was offset by 
the further grandfathering of old-style preference shares (R531m) 
in January 2019 in line with the Basel III transitional arrangements. 
The total CAR was further impacted by the redemption of R2,5bn 
tier 2 capital instruments (NED 15 and NED 16) and the issuance 
of new-style tier 2 capital of R2,5bn in line with the group’s 
capital plan.

1 The Basel III regulatory requirements exclude any idiosyncratic or 

systemically important bank minimum requirements.

Funding and liquidity 
Optimising our funding profile and maintaining a strong liquidity 
position remain a priority for the group. 

The group’s three-month average long-term funding ratio was 
30,2% for the fourth quarter supported by the group’s successful 
capital market issuances. 

The group's December 2019 quarterly average LCR of 125% 
exceeded the minimum regulatory requirement of 100% effective 
from 1 January 2019 and represents the end of the Basel III 
LCR phase-in period. To ensure ongoing compliance Nedbank 
maintains appropriate operational buffers designed to absorb 
seasonal and cyclical volatility in the LCR.

Further details on the LCR are available in the 'Additional 
information' section of the condensed consolidated financial 
results. 

Nedbank’s portfolio of LCR-compliant HQLA increased by 9,4% 
to a December 2019 quarterly average of R178,0bn. Looking 
forward, growth in the HQLA portfolio will be more aligned 
with balance sheet growth, without the incremental HQLA 
growth requirements that have emanated from the increasing 
LCR phase-in of minimum regulatory requirements since 2015. 
The HQLA portfolio, together with Nedbank’s portfolio of other 
sources of quick liquidity, equates to total available sources of 
quick liquidity of R227,7bn, representing 19,9% of total assets. 

Nedbank exceeded the minimum NSFR regulatory requirement 
of 100% effective from 1 January 2018 and reported a December 
2019 ratio of 113,0%, compared with the December 2018 ratio of 
114,0%. The focus going forward will be on achieving continued 
NSFR compliance within the context of balance sheet optimisation. 

Banking loans and advances
Total banking loans and advances increased by 7,2% to R764,2bn, 
driven by continued solid growth in RBB and an increase in CIB 
banking advances growth.

CIB banking loans and advances grew 8,3% to R362,9bn, driven 
by strong pipeline conversion and momentum from the second 
half of 2018 across energy, mining and public sector segments. 
Property Finance loans and advances in CIB increased 7,9% to 
R145,6bn as quality clients refinanced, and we grew in the rest of 
Africa off a low base. The CPF portfolio contains good-quality 
collateralised assets with low loan-to-value ratios and is managed 
by a highly experienced property finance team. 

RBB loans and advances grew 6,9% to R349,4bn, supported 
by growth across all asset classes in line with our risk appetite 
and selective origination strategies. Business Banking grew 
advances by 4,5% (the core growth of 9,3% is exclusive of the client 
migrations to RRB) due to an increase in new-loan payouts, client 
drawdowns of existing facilities as well as new-client acquisitions. 
MFC (vehicle finance) advances increased by 7,4% due to a 
combination of increases in average payout per deal as well as 
a slowdown in rundown/attrition. Unsecured Lending grew by 
7,9% as a result of product and process enhancements, mostly 
through digital channels, driving increased takeup. Card advances 
increased by 4,6% in line with our transactional banking strategy. 
Consumer segment residential-mortgage loans grew by 3,0%, 
broadly in line with the industry. 

Deposits
Deposits grew by 9,5% to R904,4bn, with total funding-related 
liabilities increasing by 9,4% to R964,1bn, while the loan-to-deposit 
ratio declined to 88,1%.

RBB and CIB grew deposits faster than nominal GDP of 4,4%, with 
growth rates of 5,1% and 9,0% respectively. Wealth grew deposits 
by 1,4% and Nedbank Africa Regions by 2,5% as a result of softer 
markets in these jurisdictions. 

Transactional deposits increased by 1,9% while investment 
deposits increased by 8,0% as both retail and commercial clients 
managed liquidity into term investments. RBB transactional 
deposits grew by 4,3% while non-transactional deposits grew 
faster, at 5,1%. CIB transactional deposits remained flat while 
non-transactional investment deposits grew by 10,9% as clients 
managed liquidity into investments instead of working capital 
mainly due to the uncertain economic environment and the low 
expected GDP growth. From a group perspective call and term 
deposits grew by 6,7% while savings and fixed deposits grew 
marginally. NCDs and other deposits, which include structured 
deposits, grew by 21,7% and contributed positively to managing 
Nedbank’s contractual longer-term funding ratio. 

Group strategic focus
During 2019 we continued to focus on delivering on our strategic 
focus areas, which are designed to create market-leading client 
experiences and support growth in selected value-creating 
areas. We made good progress in delivering market-leading 
CVPs and digital innovations. This focus enabled us to grow new

revenue streams and unlock operating efficiencies. Our strategic 
enablers – which include technology investments (with our 
Managed Evolution IT strategy and Digital Fast Lane (DFL) as key 
components), our people and our brand – are delivered through 
process and operational excellence, our target operating model 
and by embracing nWoW. This is enabling us to create a more 
client-focused, agile, competitive and digital Nedbank. 

•  Delivering innovative, market-leading client experiences 

 » A key highlight for 2019 was the operationalisation of 

Eclipse, our new platform that enables simplified digital 
client onboarding for individual clients by allowing them to 
open a FICA-compliant account through our staff-assisted 
and self-service channels. The staff-assisted channel was 
rolled out to more than 3 400 frontline users in RBB and 
onto web and app channels in the second half of the year. 
Client and transactional product onboarding for individual 
clients are now following the full end-to-end process on this 
platform and resulted in the following benefits: client-centred 
onboarding (once for life), single onboarding foundation for 
most of our core products (transactional account, personal 
loans, selected investment products, card and overdrafts), 
automated front-, middle- and backoffice processes 
(reduced account opening times and disbursals), digital 
FICA, biometrics and signing of contracts (no paper) and 
lower cost of client onboarding. Initial highlights include more 
than 90% of transactional products and personal loan sales 
inbranch done through Eclipse. Transactional sales through 
Eclipse increased from 37% in Q2 2019 to 76% in Q4 2019, 
while personal-loan sales increased from 14% to 61% over the 
same period. In addition, personal-loan sales through the 
Money app increased from 2% to 14%. The cross-selling of 
transactional accounts linked to the sales of personal 
loans was three times higher than before. Account- and 
product-opening times reduced significantly and reduction in 
paper volumes of more than 50% contributed to significantly 
improved client satisfaction levels. Juristic client onboarding 
is currently in pilot in RBB and planned to be rolled out in 
2020. 

 » The Money app, which makes banking more convenient for 
our retail clients, has been downloaded 3,9 million times, 
with more than 832 000 clients using it actively. The Money 
App Lite was launched in the second half of 2019, giving 
clients with limited data and device memory access to 
online banking. Building on our capability of rolling out new 
functionality on our apps, we introduced a market-first 
lifestyle capability, HeyNed, a digital concierge that gives 
clients a 24/7 personal assistant in their pockets and the 
ability to purchase funeral policies on the app. The Nedbank 
Private Wealth app, which had been ranked second best 
globally by Cutter Associates International Research, 
increased app downloads by 58% yoy. MobiMoney, our 
mobile-based account with zero monthly fees and which 
anyone with a valid SA identity number can open anywhere in 
seconds, attracted almost 240 000 users, up by 53% yoy. 

 » Our Stokvel Account, which offers members of stokvels a 
discount up to 10% at our retail partners, a burial benefit 
of R10 000 per member for only R20 a month, zero 
transaction fees and good interest rates, has attracted 
over 4 500 stokvel groups, representing more than 
155 000 members since its launch in March 2018. We have 
enhanced our digital onboarding process to enable 
account-opening on any USSD-enabled phone, catering for 
all cellphone users.

 » MyPocket, a free budgeting and savings pocket linked to any 
Nedbank transactional account, was launched during the 
period and reached balances of R161m. It offers clients up to 
10 savings pockets, with each dedicated to a specific saving 
goal such as daily expenses and emergencies. Clients earn 
more interest than with a normal savings account and have 
instant access to their money – no notice period is required 
to access funds. 

 » The Karri app continued to achieve exponential growth in 

2019 across all measures, with strong growth in active users 
of almost 74 000, compared with 31 000 in 2018. The school 
payment app is now used in more than 500 of the top 
schools in SA, with a highlight being the signup of AdvTech, 
one of the largest educational corporate groups in SA, 
towards the end of 2019. The Karri app continues to achieve 
mostly five-star ratings in the app store. 

 » As far as our integrated channels are concerned, we have 

converted 64% of our outlets to new-image digital branches 
to date. Significant progress has been made in enhancing 
functionality across self-service and online channels, which 
provide our clients with significantly enhanced convenience. 
Our self-service kiosks within our branches enable our clients 
to perform a range of self-service, including making ATM 
limit changes, submitting overseas travel notifications and 
opening transactional accounts seamlessly.

 » Nedbank was the first bank in Africa to launch an application 
programming interface (API) platform that is aligned with 
the Open Banking Standard. The Nedbank API Marketplace 
is an easy-to-use, secure offering that allows approved 
partners to create innovative and disruptive solutions 
that put client experience first. By using the Nedbank API 
Marketplace, approved partners can leverage the bank’s 
data and financial capabilities to integrate with our standard, 
secure and scalable APIs.

• 

In the second half of 2019 we launched our new, enhanced 
loyalty and rewards solution – a money management 
programme offering triple benefits (incentives for better 
money management and doing good for society and towards 
earning rewards).

 » Our SA retail main-banked client numbers declined slightly 
to 2,95 million, reflecting a disappointing reduction in the 
entry-level and youth segment but strong increases in 
the more profitable middle-market, professional and 
small-business segments. These increases, along with 
deepening our share of wallet, supported solid underlying 
retail transactional NIR growth of 6,3%. The 2019 Consulta 
Survey estimated Nedbank’s share of main-banked clients at 
11,2%, down from 13,1% in 2018 (market share in ELB and youth 
was down by 1,7% and by 4,3% respectively, but increased by 
1,9% in the middle-market segments). Value-added services 
sold through our digital channels increased by 29% to R250m. 

 » Our SADC business client base declined by 1,0% to 336 000. 
Newly launched products and digital innovations started 
delivering benefits, attracting new clients, but the overall 
number of client numbers decreased given the closure of 
dormant accounts. 

 » Our integrated model in CIB enabled deeper client 
penetration and increased cross-sell. Competitive 
transactional product and capabilities and leveraging our 
strong balance sheet supported 32 primary-bank client wins 
during the year.

•  Being operationally excellent in all we do 

 » Cost discipline remains an imperative as we balance 

investment with growth. We have ongoing initiatives to 
optimise our cost base. These include the reduction of our 
core systems from 250 to 117 since the inception of the 
Managed Evolution programme, and we are on our way 
to reaching our target of fewer than 85 core systems 
by 2020. (During 2019 we revisited the definition of core 
systems as part of our modernisation journey and are 
building new systems not initially planned for. As a result our 
target of 60 by 2020 has been revised). The rationalisation, 
standardisation and simplification of core banking operating 
systems enable reduced infrastructure, support and 
maintenance costs, as well as reduced complexity and

increased agility in adopting new innovations. The time and 
cost of bringing new products and services to market have 
been reduced significantly as many of the foundational 
capabilities are built into our onboarding and servicing 
programmes. Overall, investments in various foundational IT 
programmes are either complete or nearing completion and 
we expect IT cashflow spend to decline from 2019 levels. 

 » During 2019 additional self-service options for functions that 
were available previously only in branches or through staffed 
channels were released on the Nedbank Money app and 
the new Nedbank Online Banking site, taking the total digital 
functions to 114 (compared with 70 in 2018). We deployed 
27 new self-service kiosks across our branch network, up 
by 6,6% yoy to 438, enabling clients to undertake a range of 
self-service transactions, including ATM limit changes and 
overseas travel notifications. This digitisation of services 
in RBB has enabled us to reduce branch teller volumes by 
24,5% and branch floor space by 41 500 m2 to date, and we 
plan to achieve more than 49 000 m2 of optimisation by 
2020 (equating to approximately 23% of our branch floor 
space in 2014 when we started the journey). Over the past 
12 months we reduced total group headcount by 1 874 (mainly 
through natural attrition) and optimised our staffed points 
of presence by closing 21 points of presence. Through our 
Intelligent Depositor devices we now process more than 
1,8 million deposits and more than 375 000 requests for 
bank statements monthly – transactions and services that 
previously could be done only over the counter in a branch. 
Self-service cash deposit volumes increased to 73%, up from 
61% in 2018.

 » We implemented more than 300 software robots to date 

(robotic process automation), up from 51 in 2018, to enhance 
efficiencies and reduce processing errors in administratively 
intense processes.

•  Through our strategy of consolidating and standardising 

corporate real estate, our number of campus sites (offices) 
decreased from 31 to 27 over the year, with a longer-term 
target of 23. Since 2016 we have saved 53 000 m2 (over and 
above the 41 500 m2 saved in our branches). In the next few 
years we will continue to optimise the portfolio by enhancing 
workstation utilisation to greater than 100% (from the current 
90%) by enabling flexible office constructs to support more 
dynamic ways of work, while creating further value and cost 
reduction opportunities.

•  Our TOM 1.0 recorded savings of R480m in 2019, cumulative 
savings of R1 147m to December 2019, which is ahead of our 
R1,0bn pretax target by 2019 and on track to exceed the R1,2bn 
target by 2020 as disclosed in the corporate performance 
targets in our long-term incentive scheme. The 2019 savings 
include R322m relating to our front-, middle- and backoffice 
optimisation initiatives mainly in RBB and R121m related to our 
digital (agile delivery) strategy. As we progress our Managed 
Evolution journey, we are currently strategising about a TOM 
2.0, which will look at the shape of our branch infrastructure in 
the context of an increasingly digital world, a shift in our RBB 
structure to be more client-centred, as well as shared services 
optimisation across the group. We anticipate targets for TOM 
2.0 will be communicated to the market in early 2021. 

 » Our total procurement cashflow spend declined by 

3%, reflecting good cost management and centralisation 
of purchasing. Over the past 12 months we reduced paper 
consumption by 25% mainly through reduced printing and 
digitisation of forms and statements. 

•  Managing scarce resources to optimise economic outcomes 

 » We maintained our focus on growing activities that generate 

higher levels of EP, such as transactional deposits and 
transactional-banking revenues. Our market share in 
household deposits declined in 2019 due to proactive pricing 
decisions to ensure an appropriate balance between margin 
and volume.

NEDBANK GROUP – ANNUAL RESULTS 2019

 » Our selective origination of personal loans, home loans 

and commercial-property finance has proactively limited 
downside credit risk in this challenging operating climate.

 » During 2019 we embedded our commitment to the United 
Nations SDGs. This will see lending flowing into targeted 
areas that contribute to a better society. A key example is 
our renewable-energy funding solutions, where R27,0bn 
has been drawn as part of a R40bn commitment to the 
SA Department of Energy’s renewable-energy independent 
power producer procurement programme, while in response 
to further rounds of renewable energy our board has 
increased our risk limits to R50bn. In 2019 we became SA’s 
first commercial bank to launch a green bond on the JSE, 
raising a total of R2,7bn, having placed R1,7bn in April and a 
further R1,0bn in October. 

•  Providing our clients with access to the best financial services 

network in Africa

 » In Central and West Africa, where we have adopted a 

partnership approach, ETI remains an important strategic 
investment for us by providing us with access to deal flow 
in Central and West Africa and our clients with access 
to a pan-African transactional banking network across 
36 countries. ETI has reported 11 consecutive quarters of 
profit to 30 September 2019 and is making good progress 
with its transactional banking and digital strategy while 
optimising its cost base. Asset quality and risk management 
remain key priorities for the ETI board and executive, 
particularly in a challenging Nigerian environment where 
regulatory changes and economic challenges persist. For the 
third quarter of 2019 ETI achieved a strong performance 
from core West African operations and an improved 
performance in the Central, Eastern and Southern Africa 
(CESA) business, while the economic environment and ETI’s 
performance in Nigeria remained challenging. Through our 
collaboration 118 Nedbank wholesale clients are banking 
with ETI across the continent in countries where Nedbank is 
not present. Our gross return on the original cost of our ETI 
investment improved to 10,7%.

 » In SADC where we currently own, manage and 

control five banks (excluding Nedbank Malawi), we continue 
to build scale and optimise costs.

 » To drive digital and transactional business we launched 

the Nedbank Money app in Namibia, Eswatini, Malawi and 
Lesotho, leveraging off the Nedbank Money app platform 
in SA. The new app has an additional 60 new features when 
compared to its predecessor, the Nedbank App Suite. It has 
been well received by clients as we registered a 94% increase 
in active app users during the year. In Namibia we launched 
a new pay-as-you-use (PAYU) account targeting the 
entry-level and middle segments.

 » In December 2019 following a strategic review we announced 
the disposal of our 100% shareholding in Nedbank Malawi 
to MyBucks, a wholly owned subsidiary of a Frankfurt-listed 
fintech. All conditions precedent for the sale have been 
fulfilled and the transaction is on course for completion 
during Q1 2020. Nedbank Malawi is a small bank in a small 
market and contributed less than 0,1% to Nedbank Group’s 
HE and total assets, with its market share in Malawi 
approximately 1%. Nedbank Malawi has been accounted 
for under IFRS 5: Non-Current Assets Held for Sale and 
Discontinued Operations.

 » Operating in Zimbabwe remains challenging as policy 

uncertainty, increased government expenditure and a lack 
of foreign direct investments have severely damaged the 
Zimbabwean economy, contributing to hyperinflationary 
conditions. Annual inflation rates exceeded 500% in 2019, and 
hyperinflation eroded the value of the Zimbabwean dollar. 
The country officially adopted hyperinflationary reporting 
effective 1 July 2019 and this resulted in Nedbank Group 
booking a net monetary loss of R296m in H2 2019, with the 
resultant headline loss after tax and minorities amounting 
to R142m.

COMMENTARY

 » We accounted for the exercise of an option, that will increase 
our shareholding in Banco Único (Mozambique) from 50% 
plus one share to approximately 87,5%. The transaction 
is expected to be concluded in H1 2020 and is subject to 
regulatory approval. 

Economic outlook
The outlook for the global economy remains uncertain with 
risks increasing. The conclusion of a first-round US–China trade 
deal and the 75 bps reduction in US interest rates since August 
2019 have been overshadowed by the outbreak of the highly 
contagious corona virus in early 2020. These developments 
have fuelled renewed risk aversion and re-awakened concerns 
over global growth prospects. The situation in China is currently 
expected to stabilise, whereafter the world economy is forecast 
to regain some momentum. The International Monetary Fund 
expects moderately faster growth of 3,3% in 2020 and 3,4% 
in 2021 from a disappointing 2,9% in 2019. Growth in advanced 
countries are forecast to hold up relatively well, while softer, 
improving conditions are projected for emerging and developing 
countries. Growth in sub-Saharan Africa has also been revised 
down to 3,5% for both 2020 and 2021, which is an improvement on 
the 3,3% recorded in 2019. 

SA’s growth prospects remain subdued, undermined by persistent 
energy constraints, weak government finances and slow progress 
in structural reforms. Eskom announced that load-shedding will 
be implemented on a consistent basis over the next 18 months 
to allow for better maintenance at both old and new power 
stations. To compensate for the disruption the mining industry 
will be allowed to generate electricity for internal consumption, 
although this regulation is not yet in place. Government has also 
promised to allow for greater private sector participation in the 
energy market, but legislation has not yet been changed. Added 
to these pressures, the public sector’s finances are too weak to 
increase either consumption or capital expenditure. The possibility 
of a Moody’s downgrade to subinvestment grade has increased 
due to government’s weak fiscal position and the impact of 
taxpayer-funded bailouts of many struggling SOEs (particularly 
Eskom and South African Airways). Fixed investment is forecast 
to remain weak given unreliable and limited electricity supply, 
sluggish demand, considerable spare capacity and elevated cost 
structures. Consumer spending is expected to grow moderately, 
supported by slightly lower interest rates. However, the upside 
will be contained by limited job creation, effects of fading wealth 
and relatively high debt burdens. Real GDP is currently forecast to 
grow around 0,7% in 2020, before gradually moving higher from 
2021 onwards. 

Inflation is expected to rise off a low base in early 2020 before 
moderating to just below the 4,5% midpoint of the Reserve Bank’s 
inflation targeting range. Cost-push shocks are likely to be kept 

The current outlook for our revised targets is as follows:

in check by the absence of any demand pressure on prices. Given 
the benign inflation outlook, the Monetary Policy Committee cut 
interest rates by another 25 basis points in January 2020. There 
may be some scope for further monetary policy easing in 2020, 
although our forecast is for flat interest rates over the next two 
years. 

Despite the difficult operating environment in which to generate 
growth, the SA banking system remains sound, liquid and 
well capitalised. The relatively favourable inflation and interest 
rate outlook is likely to support a modest improvement in 
credit demand, but the underlying environment will remain 
difficult throughout 2020. Household demand for credit will be 
contained by job insecurity, high unemployment, slow income 
growth and relatively high existing debt burdens. Corporate 
demand is likely to remain volatile and weak, constrained by 
low business confidence coupled with weak growth prospects 
and tough operating conditions. The gradual rollout of the 
latest renewable-energy projects may provide some support 
to corporate loans. 

Prospects 
Our guidance on financial performance for the full year 2020, in a 
global and domestic macroeconomic environment with increased 
forecast risk, is currently as follows: 

•  Average interest-earning banking assets to grow slightly 

above mid-single digits.

•  NIM to be similar to the 2019 level of 3,52%.

•  CLR to be similar to the 2019 CLR of 82 bps (around the 

midpoint of our target range of 60 bps to 100 bps).

•  NIR to grow around mid-single digits.

•  Expenses to increase below the mid-single digits.

Given the expectations of a slowly improving SA economy, the 
weaker base in 2019 and ongoing delivery on our strategy, our 
current guidance for growth in DHEPS for the full 2020 year is to 
be around nominal GDP growth. Given the 2019 base effects, we 
anticipate DHEPS growth to be negative in the first half of the 
year and up more strongly in the second half of the year.

In 2018 we set ourselves specific 2020 targets of ROE (excluding 
goodwill) of greater than or equal to 18% and a cost-to-income 
ratio of lower than or equal to 53% as a pathway to ongoing 
and sustainable improvements in the key metrics that support 
shareholder value creation. The actual macroeconomic conditions 
have been materially worse than our 2018 forecasts and the 
targets we set for 2020 are unlikely to be met. As a result we have 
revisited our guidance on these two measures and introduced 
targets for the medium (two to three years) and long term 
(five years and more). We have also revised our ROE target to 
include goodwill.

concepts and the measurement and recognition requirements of 
IFRS and the SAICA Financial Reporting Guides as issued by the 
Accounting Practices Committee and Financial Pronouncements 
as issued by the Financial Reporting Standards Council and also, 
as a minimum, to contain the information required by IAS 34: 
Interim Financial Reporting. The accounting policies applied in 
the preparation of the consolidated financial statements, from 
which the summary consolidated financial statements were 
derived, are in terms of IFRS and are consistent with those used 
for the previous annual financial statements, except for changes 
arising from the adoption of IFRS 16, as set out in the notes to the 
consolidated financial statements.

1 The initial application of IAS 29 resulted in an opening adjustment of R246m (non-controlling interest of R84m and R162m attributable to the parent). The effect of 

hyperinflation is further described in note 8.

2 Represents other non-distributable revaluation surplus on capital items and non-distributable reserves transferred from other distributable reserves to comply with 
various banking regulations of R168m (2018: R143m). This balance is offset by the difference between the at-acquisition fair value (net basis) and gross value of the 
Banco Único put option of R223m.

3 The available-for-sale reserve is no longer applicable from 1 January 2018 due to the implementation of IFRS 9.

4 Represents the accumulated profits after distributions to shareholders and appropriations of retained earnings to other non-distributable reserves.

5 Exchange differences of R159m disclosed in the statement of comprehensive income includes R70m for the conversion of ETI from USD to ZAR. The R68m decrease in 

the FCTR includes R70m relating to the conversion of ETI and a R2m increase related to foreign subsidiaries.

1 Other equity includes the variance between average allocated capital, which is computed using the average-equity month-end balances and actual equity.

2 Cluster margins include internal assets, which are not material to NIM. 

3 During the year 325 staffmembers transferred from RBB to the Centre as part of an efficiency initiative. Excluding this transfer, at 31 December 2019, staffmembers 

in the Centre would have been 3 940.

environment worsened in the second half of the year, 
and impairments increased off a low base. GOI was maintained 
at R15 686m, while expenses were well contained with only a 0,5% 
increase despite continued investment in skills and technology. 

Economic capital grew by 4,0% notwithstanding the higher level of 
advances growth as a result of capital optimisation and increased 
RWA efficiencies. ROE decreased to 17,7% due to the decline in HE 
and increase in economic capital.

SEGMENTAL 
ANALYSIS

NII increased by 2,0% to R7 390m, with good growth in AIEBA 
of 8,8% to R372bn. NIM decreased by 13 bps to 1,99% as asset 
margins came under pressure due to competition for high-quality 
assets. Average banking advances increased by 6,8% to R346bn, 
supported by ongoing drawdowns from previous deals, as well 
as a substantial number of new transactions that closed in 2019. 
Actual banking advances inclusive of corporate bonds increased 
by 9,4% to R393bn underpinned by good growth in the Investment 
Banking book following the conclusion of a number of significant 
deals. The pipeline for 2020 is healthy with continued drawdowns 
of current deals expected. Average deposits increased by 8,3% to 
R368bn from growth in call and term deposits. 

The CLR at 0,26% is well within our TTC target range of 0,15% 
– 0,45%. Impairments increased to R917m (2018: R103m) as 
the credit environment deteriorated in the second half of the 
year with increased stress in certain industries. Due to early 
engagements and initiating restructures of clients in 2018, as well 
as no significant new defaulted clients in 2019, stage 3 advances 
decreased from R5,7bn to R4,1bn. However, the worsening 
environment resulted in increased impairments and a higher 
specific coverage ratio against these counters. The portfolio 
coverage ratio on the performing book increased from 0,28% 
to 0,36% as increased economic pressure resulted in the 
deterioration of risk ratings for counters in stressed industries. 
We continue to closely monitor stressed sectors of the economy, 
such as construction and cement, commercial property clients 
with large office/government exposures and parts of the retail 
sector. Focus on certain SOEs will continue given ongoing concerns 
about the constrained fiscus as well as delays in executing 
turnaround plans that continue to be impacted by liquidity and 
debt repayment concerns over the medium term. We have 
observed an improvement in the governance structure of the 
various boards and are encouraged by the appointment of new 
independent boards of directors.

NIR decreased by 4,1% to R8 175m largely due to revaluations in 
private-equity income as the challenging economic environment 
impacted the profitability of certain counters. This was offset by 
a good performance in trading income and resilient commission 
and fee income. Trading income grew by 2,6% despite low 
volatility and decreased volumes from a high base in 2018. 
Fee and commission income declined marginally to R3 256m, with 
subdued client activity offsetting continued primary-client wins. 
The NIR-to-expense ratio decreased to 123,8%.

Efficiencies allowed us to continue to spend on digital 
opportunities and upskilling our staff to ensure an ever-improving 
client experience. The cost-to-income ratio of 42,1% remains at the 
lower end of the SA peer group.

Property Finance
Conditions in the property sector were challenging in line with 
the economic environment in SA and the resultant challenges 
faced by tenants across all segments. Negative rental 
reversions were common across the office and retail segments 
as landlords looked to manage vacancies. While some new 
developments are taking place in specific nodes, general activity 
remains slow and we anticipate this to continue until a sustained 
improvement in economic conditions is observed. Gross operating 
income increased by 2,1%, driven mainly by NII growth of 3,0% due 
to good growth in advances. Actual banking advances, including 
bonds, increased by 7,8% to R163bn with an uptick in deals 
concluded in the latter part of the year. CLR decreased to -0,02% 
from 0,10% and remains below our TTC target range of 0,15% 
to 0,35%.

Importantly in this environment, our portfolio contains 
good-quality collateralised assets with low average loan-to-value 
ratios, underpinned by a large secure asset pool and a strong 
client base. The business sustained its strong history of cost 
containment, maintaining the cost-to-income ratio at 31,7%. 
Property Finance has maintained a leading market share 
over many years in SA and seeks to capitalise on this position 
by further expansion into the rest of Africa. The business was 
announced as the Top African Real Estate Bank of the Year at the 
Africa Property Investment Awards.

Investment Banking
Investment Banking was impacted by the deteriorating 
environment, with higher impairment charges and negative 
mark-to-market adjustments on certain equity exposures. Gross 
operating income decreased by 8,1% despite good advances 
growth. Actual banking advances, including corporate bonds, 
increased by 8,3% due to increased drawdowns and new client 
wins. Advances growth will be impacted in 2020 by low GDP 
growth, although this will be partially offset by payouts of deals 
concluded in the latter part of 2019. The pipeline is fairly robust 
across sectors, with an expected uplift as the market cycle turns. 
NII increased by 1,2% as a result of advances growth and the 
associated endowment income, but was impacted by margin 
pressure in a very competitive market for assets. NIR decreased 
by 26,6% and was impacted by negative revaluations in the 
private-equity portfolio as well as the performance of certain 
investments that were converted from debt into equity. Fees 
and commissions decreased by 1,9%, noting the 2018 base 
year contained fees from renewable-energy deals that were 
not repeated in the 2019 financial year. Defaulted exposures 
increased due to large counters in the telecommunication, 
sugar, construction, cement and retail sectors. The CLR 
increased to 0,45% as a result of increased impairments as the 
credit environment worsened, causing delays in implementing 
restructures as well as putting pressure on asset values. 
The business has leading industry expertise in mining and 
resources, infrastructure, oil and gas, telecoms and energy, and 
ranked number one for debt capital market bond issuances for 
2019. In 2019 Investment Banking ranked first by deal flow for 
M&A advisors, third by deal value for M&A sponsors and won the 
M&A BEE Deal of the Year. The business won the Infrastructure 
and Project Finance Deal of the Year 2019 at The Banker Awards, 
Sponsor of the Year at the Project Finance International Awards 
and was placed first in the Venture Capital/Start-up category 
at the Southern African Venture Capital and Private Equity 
Association (SAVCA) 2019 Industry Awards.

Markets
GOI in Markets declined by 2,9% due to the decrease in NII 
from R1 039m in 2018 to R779m. This was due to decreased 
endowment after capital optimisation and declining volumes in 
interest-earning funding. Deliberate investment in the Markets 
sales and trading franchises is generating growth against 
a challenging backdrop characterised by persistently low 
volatility and volumes – particularly in the flow-sensitive asset 
classes of interest rates and equities. Foreign exchange flows 
broadly tracked the weak local economic picture and high 
precious-metal prices resulted in an increase in hedging activity 
in the commodities space. Market-focused investment over the 
past four years is bearing fruit, with trading debt securities, in 
particular, growing by 10,3%. There are promising signs appearing 
from our recent investment in cash equities, where the breadth 
and quality of client engagements, as well as activity, has 
increased significantly. The 4% decline in equities was largely 
driven by base effects of large once-off derivative transactions 
in 2018. 

NEDBANK GROUP – ANNUAL RESULTS 2019 79

Transactional Services 
GOI increased by 12,8% as a result of strong growth in deposits 
enabled by our competitive deposit offerings. Transactional 
income was flat, with subdued client activity offsetting the 
32 primary-banked-client wins. The income from these new 
wins will be realised during 2020 once these new clients are 
onboarded with our specialist migration team. Notable wins 
include Airports Company South Africa, Supercare and Ekurhuleni 
Water Care Company. The transactional business has placed 
strategic focus on growing the short-term lending, trade finance 
and asset-based finance books through the formation of a 
specialised working capital sales team to facilitate additional 
deposit growth. The overall environment remains difficult with 
impairments increasing and a slowdown in domestic transactional 
income, but this has been offset by good growth in trade finance. 
Transactional Services continues to deliver on innovation in our 
product areas, as well as retain focus on efficiencies, robotics and 
API initiatives and solutions in conjunction with selected clients. 

Looking forward
Growth prospects for SA are currently expected to improve 
slightly in 2020, but will remain sluggish as a result of slow 
structural reforms and low business confidence. We are 
intensifying our efforts to counteract this through highly 
focused client service, as well as providing innovative, 
valueadding solutions, coupled with strong relationships to 
ensure that CIB remains a strong contender in the market. 
We do, however, expect decreased client activity, but this will 
be offset by drawdowns in new transactional-client wins and 
advances payouts following the significant deals won. 

We will focus on leveraging the strengths of our business units, 
with maintained momentum in Market’s client acquisitions and 
technology drive over the next year. Transactional Banking 
will remain focused on client solutions and product innovation, 
allowing our clients to manage their various products and 
interactions with us in a more effective and digital-friendly 
manner. We also seek to capitalise on our leading property 
expertise as well as our deep sector knowledge in Investment 
Banking, with increased transactions across the continent. 
We will also continue to build on our advisory business, as it is a 
key enabler to growing NIR. 

We are well positioned to use our financial expertise to play 
a part in achieving a sustainable future for the country. 
In 2019 we concluded the first issuance of a green renewable 
bond in SA and we plan to continue to lead in this space by 
providing first-to-market products.

Continued cost containment will be aided by creating 
efficiencies through optimisation, while still transforming the 
business by upskilling our talent and improving technologies 
to position us for the future. Developing leadership capability 
and building key teams, as well as attracting and retaining 
top talent, are significant levers in growing our businesses. 
Essential to our strategy is using our strategic partners to 
benefit clients on the continent and globally, and expanding 
our presence in Africa.

We also continue to emphasise proactive risk management 
and focus on resolutions in stressed sectors, while ensuring 
that we remain compliant with regulatory requirements. 

Over the medium term we are committed to achieving ROE of 
≥ 18% and a cost-to-income ratio of ≤ 42% with the long-term 
targets set at achieving ROE of ≥ 20% and a cost-to-income 
ratio of ≤ 40%.

NEDBANK GROUP – ANNUAL RESULTS 2019

NEDBANK RETAIL AND 
BUSINESS BANKING

OVERVIEW

RBB HE decreased 1,6% to R5 293m, with quality earnings 
growth offset by a higher impairment charge. NII was 
underpinned by good growth in advances and strong growth 
in deposits, although the NIM decreased slightly. NIR growth 
was driven by inflation-related price increases and volume 
growth. Impairments increased as a result of risk normalisation 
off a low base and consumer stress driven by a worsening 
macroeconomic environment. Low expenses growth reflected 
the impact of optimising processes and operations as well as 
lower incentives driven from the lower profits. Economic capital 
increased in line with advances growth and this, coupled with the 
lower earnings, resulted in a lower ROE of 17,3%.

Does not include unallocated costs relating to Channel, Clients and Shared Services, therefore the table does not cross-cast.

Investing in our people to enable them to make a difference in 
our clients' experiences remains key. Strong results in the annual 
Consulta SA Consumer Satisfaction Index (SAcsi) and BrandsEye 
social media sentiment survey showed:

1.  For the second year in a row Nedbank posted the largest 
improvement in its Net Promoter Score (NPS) among the 
top five retail banks and was the only bank to show positive 
movement, to 38%, in 2019.

2.  Nedbank was rated number one in respect of social media net 
sentiment, with a score of 20,4% – the first time the bank has 
attained the top position on this important measure.

3.  Nedbank’s SAcsi improvement was the largest among the 
big five banks. In 2019 Nedbank rose to number two among 
the top five retail banks, posting the largest improvement. 
This improvement was driven mainly by key metrics such as 
perceived value and complaints handling.

4.  Nedbank Home Loans outperformed the industry, rising 
to number one in respect of client satisfaction. Nedbank 
Home Loans also had the best performance in respect of 
NPS, placing the bank in second place across the home 
loan industry.

Client numbers – Total client numbers remained at 7,5 million, as 
declines in acquisition were balanced by improved client attrition. 
Approximately 296 000 small-and-medium-enterprise clients 
and 14 700 Business Banking client groups are included in this 
total. Progress on quality-client acquisition is reflected in an 11,7% 
increase in clients who have been main-banked consistently 
for the past 12 months (main-banked clients total 2,95 million). 
Middle-market, affluent and small-business clients continued to 
increase strongly. Entry-level main-banked client growth has 
shown a decline (-2,0%); however, entry-level revenue (GOI) growth 
remains positive at 5,5%.

Digital innovation – We made significant progress in the past 
year, accelerating our digital transformation journey with core 
capabilities built to make it easier for our clients to engage with 
us. Examples include digital onboarding on the app, the web and 
through USSD; eFica; digital credit preapproval using data to 
personalise offers for clients; and Client 360 and a marketplace 
API, which allows other ecommerce platforms to use our lending 
APIs to offer loans. We enjoyed recognition for this by winning two 
awards from International Banker for the best innovation in retail 
banking in SA and the best client service provider in Africa for 
2019. We were also voted the Most Innovative Retail Bank South 
Africa 2019 at the Global Banking & Finance Awards®.

SEGMENTAL 
ANALYSIS

The Nedbank Money app has been downloaded more than 
3,9 million times and now offers over 70 client-servicing functions. 
Our total digitally active base is now 1,8 million, of which we have 
832 000 digitally active clients using the Money app. Functionality 
developed through our client-centred design process includes the 
ability to: open savings pockets and create goals; chat directly 
to a banker using Live Chat; request overdraft and credit card 
limit increases; and manage Greenbacks effortlessly, including 
redeeming them to invest in unit trusts or buy forex. In line with 
our aim to delight our clients by providing them with worldclass 
digital experiences, we introduced HeyNed – a market-first digital 
concierge in clients' pockets to assist with any non-banking needs 
they may have, sourcing deals from over 350 000 suppliers and 
negotiating on clients' behalf.

The Nedbank Money app allows new clients to open transactional 
accounts without having to submit documents or visit the branch 
– a market-leading experience. In addition, existing app users can 
open investment accounts and meet their investment needs, and 
also access customised offers for personal loans, overdrafts and 
credit cards based on individual assessments driven by advanced 
analytics and artificial intelligence (AI). Clients also have the ability 
to switch their salary and debit orders to their Nedbank accounts 
as well as open accounts for their children. Our online banking 
platform has 73 digitised client services that empower our clients 
to bank using this self-service channel through their personal 
devices and include the capability to download stamped bank 
statements and tax certificates conveniently.

The small-business segment remains a key focus area and 
businesses are now able to register companies with the CIPC 
through nedbank.co.za as well as to open a business bank account 
online. They can also switch between their personal and business 
accounts while logged into the app or online banking for a 
seamless and consistent experience.

Commercialisation of data – Data is a critical asset in 
Nedbank and an enabler of Nedbank’s strategic focus areas. 
While Nedbank is committed to protecting the privacy and 
confidentiality of its clients, employees and other associated 
parties, managing data effectively has become key to unlocking 
client insights, improved personalisation and significantly 
improved service levels. The need to understand our clients 
better and to retain them more effectively, while providing them 
with a range of value-added products, is essential to unlocking 
Nedbank’s growth ambitions. We view data commercialisation 
as a source of competitive advantage and a necessary step 
change in the way we do business going forward. 

We are developing a real-time marketing decisioning engine 
geared for tailored, relevant, channel-of-choice offers to 
optimise processes with improved response rates and cost 
savings. We continue to identify automation opportunities to 
increase productivity.

Since the inception of the RBB automation centre of excellence 
in 2018 we have made good progress in creating a worldclass 
robotics process automation (RPA) delivery function and now 
have a fully fledged internal delivery team. According to a recent 
KPMG independent maturity assessment of the delivery of 
automated services, we scored higher than our peers in SA, and 
only marginally lower than our international peer group. With 
our AI and machine-learning capabilities we have a deeper 
understanding of our clients, which helps us to personalise and 
customise offerings to meet their needs and serve them better. 
Our enhanced RPA enables us to automate manual processes, 

improving our speed and accuracy. We have deployed a further 
77 robotic solutions across RBB, increasing the total to 125.

Physical distribution – In response to shifts in client behaviour 
and preferences we continued to optimise our branch footprint. 
For the period under review we closed 21 points of presence 
and opened two new branches and four inretailer outlets, 
resulting in a net reduction of 15 physical points of presence. 
The reduction has not affected our coverage of the bankable 
population in SA. We also upgraded 19 branches to our new 
format, bringing the total completed upgrades to 379 branches 
(64% of total branches). Regarding branch space, we exceeded 
our 2020 targeted reduction of 30 000 m2 by achieving an 
actual space reduction of 41 516 m2 at 31 December 2019, with 
the total branch floor space decreasing by 23% of total branch 
space occupied in 2014. In response to the continued increase 
in transaction volumes through our self-service channels we 
revised our targeted reduction in branch space to more than 
49 000 m2 by the end of 2020.

We expanded our ATM footprint with a further 158 devices during 
2019. These included 156 cash-accepting ATM devices. During this 
period cash dispensed increased by 8%, with 73% of all client cash 
at branches now being processed through cash-accepting ATM 
devices – an increase from 35% in 2016. Significant progress has 
been made in enhancing functionality across self-service and 
online channels, providing our clients with enhanced convenience. 
Our network of 438 self-service kiosks within our branches enable 
our clients to perform a range of self-service transactions, 
including ATM limit changes and overseas travel notifications. 
We have also launched a functionality that allows clients to open 
simple transactional accounts seamlessly using the self-service 
kiosk. Client service through branch-located video banking and 
contact centre access provides further convenient alternatives 
for clients. A further addition to our 24/7 zone in select branches 
is a locker to which clients can send their cards or any bank 
documents for collection. It also extends beyond banking and 
provides clients with a convenient collection point for items 
ordered on ecommerce sites such as Takealot or our Unlocked.Me 
platform. We plan to roll out more of these to stores across the 
country as well as selected Engen garages. We are pleased with 
our progress in making it easier and more convenient for clients to 
access our services – and at a lower cost. 

Our physical footprint reflects both the increased drive towards 
client self-service and a diverse SA consumer base that still 
requires face-to-face assistance.

Our contact centre is available to clients 24 hours a day. Client 
experience and security have been improved through the 
deployment of voice biometrics as well as a new online live chat 
capability, enabling clients to access services and advice through 
text-based interaction with our agents. Non-voice contact centre 
interaction now represents 25% of all interactions following the 
deployment of multimedia access across our contact centre.

Value propositions – We launched several disruptive CVPs. 
These include Unlocked.Me for the youth, delivering banking 
value through a zero-monthly-fee account; lifestyle value through 
great deals on tech and fashion, such as 50% off laptops; and 
assistance to clients in unlocking their career potential with job 
search support, including access to up to 500 jobs online. We have 
noted good progress in brand awareness and consideration 
scores. We are also recording good levels of engagement and 
client registrations on the Unlocked.Me platform, with client 
registrations now exceeding 100 000. Following the early success 

NEDBANK GROUP – ANNUAL RESULTS 2019 83

of the Unlocked.Me Account with students, we have opened 
the proposition to all young adults between the age of 16 and 
26 years. These are strong foundations on which to grow clients in 
the youth segment going forward. 

We continued to see sustained growth in our stokvel proposition, 
which offers members a market-leading investment account, 
funeral benefit, as well as grocery discount benefits. Since 
its launch in March 2018, 4 500 stokvels have been banked, 
with 155 000 members enjoying benefits. We also launched 
a first-in-market, USSD-based onboarding system, allowing 
stokvels to onboard themselves to the account anywhere. This 
benefit was aimed at ensuring a better client experience for 
stokvels, while recognising that the collective makes the decisions 
and that this benefit empowers them to do so, in their own spaces. 

Our MobiMoney wallet, which allows for client onboarding within 
seconds, has seen client numbers grow to 249 000 since its 
launch in August 2018. A Youth Employment Service (YES) team of 
120 people is fully in-field and has netted over 40 000 MobiMoney 
sales. The team has been given sales and client training, as well 
as etiquette and social media training. They have also written 
comprehensive product tests to ensure that they understand 
our products and can be true ambassadors for the Nedbank 
brand. To make MobiMoney more inclusive and to provide greater 
opportunities for access points consumers can now deposit 
money into their MobiMoney wallet at over 9 000 retail store 
points in addition to Nedbank ATM points of presence. 

Early 2019 saw the launch of the Home-buying Toolkit, a 
digital tool that allows Nedbank clients to search for homes, 
access property research reports and apply for preapproved 
credit conveniently using their cellphones. In July 2019 further 
enhancements to the toolkit resulted in an additional digital sales 
channel for the business, allowing clients to apply for a home loan 
on the Nedbank Money app using a shorter, simplified chat-based 
application. This includes prepopulation of clients' contractual 
debt information directly from credit bureaus, enabling simpler 
and faster completion of the form. 

In support of business owners as they start, run and grow their 
business, Nedbank relaunched its SimplyBiz® resource platform 
with enhanced functionality, including access to a network of 
like-minded entrepreneurs, business owners and specialists, 
business solutions and special offers; funding advice; and a 
marketplace. The platform has approximately 12 000 registered 
members. 

The top-rated Karri payments app is an innovative solution that 
allows parents to make safe, quick and convenient payments 
to the school or other community organisation. It continued to 
achieve exponential growth in 2019 across all measures, with 
strong growth in both active users (up 240% yoy), transactional 
value (up 280% yoy) and volume (up 230% yoy). The school 
payment app is now used in more than 500 of the top schools in 
SA, with a highlight being the recent signup of AdvTech, one of 
the largest educational corporate groups in SA. The Karri app 
continues to achieve mostly five-star ratings in the app store.

Treating clients fairly and market conduct – Nedbank has been 
on a journey to develop a more client-centred culture for several 
years. We embrace good market conduct practices and seek to 
operationalise our brand promise with the view to consistently 
deliver fair client outcomes. 

Our Market Conduct and Culture Programme is a systematic 
approach that applies a conduct lens to our review of our current 
practices. This is used to identify and implement operational 

84

NEDBANK GROUP – ANNUAL RESULTS 2019

improvements in the full client journey across all products, 
channels and touch points. The programme will continue in 
2020 as we incorporate the FSCA draft conduct standards, 
together with worldclass conduct practices, to deliver better 
client experience.

Marketing – We have aligned our marketing efforts with our 
brand purpose, which is to use our financial expertise to do good. 
We base our approach on a universal insight that money, when 
well managed, can make a real difference in people's lives, as well 
as the lives of their family, their business, their communities and 
society. Through the creation of a brand world construct, which 
came alive through the use of Sbu the cab driver, we have created 
better consistency not only in look and feel, but also in messaging 
and meaning, which allows us to build strong memory structures 
and recall for our brand. We continue to fast-track our data-led 
marketing, together with our digital-marketing capabilities, 
to be more relevant and connect better with our clients. This 
is being demonstrated through data-led, personalised, and 
highly targeted messaging at scale, backed by an increase in 
digital-marketing spend that is comparable to global industry 
norms. 

Loyalty and rewards – We successfully launched our new 
Greenbacks programme in the second half of 2019. The new 
Greenbacks is not just a rewards programme but a money 
management programme that prompts, incentivises and rewards 
good money behaviours. It incorporates our long-standing 
Nedbank Affinity Programme and allows Greenbacks members 
to easily support an Affinity of their choice, at no cost to them. 
The new programme consists of packages linked to products. 
We launched the Card Swiper package (credit card) as well as 
the Money Manager package (transactional products) last year, 
with Responsible Borrower (lending products) to be launched 
in the second quarter of this year. To date we have around 
600 000 clients on the new platform and new enrolments are 
steadily increasing. The ability for our clients to be rewarded 
across these product holdings with Nedbank and not just 
their card products, (as was the case with the old Greenbacks 
programme), enables improved client retention. In addition, the 
digital redemption mechanisms on the Money app (whereby 
clients can donate to an Affinity, redeem to invest in unit 
trusts, buy airtime, data, electricity or pay service fees) have seen 
a significant increase in usage, albeit off a low base.

KEY DRIVERS OF THE 2019 FINANCIAL 
PERFORMANCE 

NII increased 6,1% to R19 831m and was underpinned by 6,4% 
growth in AIEBA and good growth in deposits, while NIM is 
marginally down due to mix and the personal-loans business 
impact of the NCA-driven reduction in the maximum interest rate.

Average total banking advances increased 7,7% to R348,4bn, 
with new-loan payouts increasing to R103,9bn, on the back of 
payouts in Consumer Banking, which increased 2,4% to R67,3bn; 
Relationship Banking, which increased 9,5% to R9,6bn; and 
Business Banking (post internal restructure), which increased 12,6% 
to R26,6bn. 

Average deposits increased 7,6% to R328,2bn. Our market share 
of household deposits declined to 16,9% at December 2019 due 
to proactive pricing decisions to ensure an appropriate balance 
between margin and volume. 

Defaulted advances increased to R21,2bn from R17,3bn in 
December 2018, increasing the defaulted book to 5,8% of the 
advances portfolio, up from 5,1% in December 2018. 

SEGMENTAL 
ANALYSIS

Balance sheet impairments rose to 3,87% of total advances 
and the coverage on the performing book increased to 0,81%. 
Our strategy to grow selected categories of advances ahead of 
the market within acceptable risk categories remains. 

The CLR, of 1,38%, increased from 1,06% in the previous year to 
just within our target range of 1,30% to 1,80%. The traditional 
seasonality improvements on impairments in the second half 
of the year were offset by the tough economic environment, 
particularly in vehicle finance.

NIR increased 5,8% to R13 318m, underpinned by growth in quality 
transactional income and revenue from client card issuing (with 
combined growth of 6,3% yoy, as well as average product price 
increases of 4,5% from 1 January 2019). 

Expense growth of 1,8% to R20 384 includes investment in 
distribution of R60m and growth in revenue-related costs of 
R82m offset by the benefit from IFRS 16 of R104m and reduced 
STI and LTI. Additional cost savings of R490m have been delivered 
through ongoing, active cost management, with headcount 
decreasing by 1 876 to 17 699 since December 2018, achieved 
through natural attrition, with retrenchments limited to 145. 

We have made significant progress in enhancing operational 
efficiencies, unlocking cost savings and improving client 
experience by leveraging technologies such as robotics, 
AI, machine learning and data analytics as outlined in our 
'Commercialisation of data' section above. 

Staff Developments
RBB is going through complex changes with regard to 
organisational restructure, systems and processes. To cater for 
these changes our employees are given face-to-face change 
management counselling and provided with change tools 
through our portals to access as and when required. Employees 
were further engaged through our People expos to manage 
the change anxiety and create excitement about working for 
Nedbank. This will be further enhanced by our group initiative 
People Promise, currently being rolled out across the business.

Our focus has been to prepare for the future skills requirements, 
ie digital skills, leadership skills/EQ and other scarce and critical 
skills. Training has taken place in classrooms (face to face) as well 
as on LinkedIn. As a result, Nedbank won the LinkedIn award for 
best digital learning. We have also partnered with various entities, 
including the University of Johannesburg, Mail & Guardian, YES 
and BANKSETA, to develop and grow pipeline talent, especially 
in scarce-skills areas such as data science, analytics, sciences, 
technology and the arts.

Our staff composition remains broadly representative of our 
society across gender, age and race – EE representation stands 
at 80%, women at 67% and millennials at 60% – which contributes 
to innovation and diverse thinking. We are focusing on service 
excellence as a deliberate training intervention, as we believe that 
this will be a lever of differentiation for us going forward. We are 
planning to introduce 15 000 to 17 000 employees to this initiative 
in 2020.

Looking forward
We remain committed to delivering on our client-centred 
growth strategy and boldly executing our plans to deliver 
delightful client experiences through digital transformation 
using the five strategic levers of Digital First, First in Digital; 
Disruptive CVPs; Data-led Sales and Service Excellence; 
Loyalty and Rewards; and Data Analytics and Insights. 

We have revised our financial targets in context of a 
deteriorating macroeconomic environment and aim to 
achieve an ROE of ≥ 19% over the medium term (two to three 
years); ≥ 20% over the long term (five years or more) and a 
substantially lower cost-to-income ratio of less than or equal 
to 59% over the medium term and 57% over the long term. 

Our focus remains on accelerating financial inclusivity of 
our banking propositions to meet evolving client needs 
by commercialising existing CVPs and developing new 
disruptive CVPs, delivering competitively priced products, 
actively reducing transacting costs for our clients through 
digital banking services, and tapping into platform-based 
propositions to offer beyond-banking solutions. Therefore, 
2020 will see us also fast-track rollout of additional 
Greenbacks money management features such as 
Responsible Borrower. 

In the first half of 2019 we rolled out our enterprise 
client-onboarding platform (Eclipse) to all frontline users. This 
platform provides our clients with a seamless onboarding 
experience, the ability to open a transactional account and 
apply for a personal loan through a single digital process 
(currently more than 95% of all new applications in the branch 
are processed through Eclipse) and an additional incentive to 
bank with us. This sets us on a great path to digitising our top 
10 client journeys, adding more straight-through-processing 
and digitising client journeys such as making and receiving 
payments and making or opening an investment account using 
staff-assisted and self-service channels. We have digitised 
114 services to date and are on track to digitise the remaining 
70 services across web, app and self-service kiosk channels 
to end up with more than 180 digitised services by the end of 
2020, as is our goal. 

Future distribution investment is aimed at ensuring an 
optimal client channel footprint. This will provide more 
self-service device options for clients, a marginally reduced 
branch footprint, as well as a reformatted strategy aimed at 
unlocking more space efficiencies and equipping branches with 
self-service capabilities to provide convenient alternatives for 
our clients. There is also a focus on quality-client acquisition. 
We aim to achieve this through deepening the relationship 
with our clients by improving the client experience and 
ensuring we have value-adding, cost-effective products that 
will drive improvement in our key Net Promoter Score (NPS). 
We have launched our new staffed interface for account 
opening and servicing, which will further enhance growth in 
our transactional banking franchise by reducing the amount 
of staff-assisted time required to onboard new clients by 
facilitating better cross-selling and client experiences.

Continued focus will also be on equipping our staff to deliver 
delightful client experiences. This will be done by rolling out 
our People Promise, the Service Excellence programme and 
providing staff with data insights toolkits. There has been and 
will continue to be focus on building data analytics, RPA, digital 
marketing, client-centred design and commercial partnership 
capabilities as strategic assets for our business. 

Our policies on credit granting have remained consistent and 
should ensure relative risk outperformance in the market 
through-the-cycle. HE growth should continue to be supported 
by various cost efficiency strategies, including the reduction 
of the cost to acquire and serve clients through our convenient 
and functionally rich mobile and digital channels.

NEDBANK RETAIL AND BUSINESS BANKING 
SEGMENTAL REVIEW

Business transfers
Following an indepth review of industry practices and internal 
capabilities, the annual turnover threshold for Business Banking 
clients was lifted from R10m to R30m, motivated by a need for 
Business Banking to create capacity to focus on larger SMEs, 
coupled with a business model in Retail Relationship Banking that 
is well geared to serve small businesses with lower complexity.

As a result about 17 000 clients with a turnover of R10m to R30m 
were transferred from Business Banking to Retail Relationship 
Banking. This has resulted in the following movements for the 
period under review:

•  R3,9bn in advances (average balance impact of R1,9bn) 

•  R7,2bn in deposits (average balance impact of R3,6bn) 

•  R78m in headline earnings for six months

•  7 297 client groups (equivalent to 17 000 client records) 

Business Banking 
Business Banking (BB) provides relationship-based banking 
services to corporates, institutions and parastatals with an annual 
turnover of less than R750m but more than R30m. This minimum 
limit was lifted from R10m with effect from 1 July 2019 and 
clients falling below this threshold have been migrated to Retail 
Relationship Banking. Comments below reflect the Core Business 
Banking results, restated to be exclusive of the client migration to 
enable a like-for-like comparison. Core Business Banking delivered 
strong preprovisioning operating profit growth of 14,0%, aided 
by savings of R50m achieved through the successful reduction in 
headcount as well as judicious cost management practices, also 
resulting in an ROE of 18,3%. 

Despite the sluggish economic growth that has seen deteriorating 
levels of business confidence, with business owners taking a 
more cautionary approach to key investment decisions, average 
advances growth is up 10,6%, largely due to a 12,6% increase in 
new-loan payouts to R26,6bn, coupled with an increase in client 
drawdowns of existing facilities as well as new-client acquisitions. 
We remain a strong generator of funding, with average total 
deposits increasing by 9,0%, giving rise to the generation of 
R69,7bn in net surplus funds.

The CLR of 52 bps is at the bottom end of the TTC target range 
of 50 bps to 70 bps. However, it is up significantly from the 15 bps 
in 2018 and is the main driver of the flat core headline earnings 
growth of 0,4%, while preprovisioning operating profit grew by 
14,0%. The CLR for 2018 benefitted from significant impairment 
releases of R147m following the improvement in the drought 
conditions, and when normalising for adjustment, CLR increased 
by 15 bps. Downside risk does, however, remain, as we continue 
to see the pressure in the operating environment of our clients, 
cashflow constraints in the public and private sectors, and general 
economic uncertainty driving cautious borrowing behaviour. 

Our core CVP is based on the premise of being the trusted 
partner for our clients by offering bespoke solutions that 
enable their growth aspirations. Through our deep knowledge 
and insights about their business and their related industry, 
we are able to unlock future possibilities and options that allow 
clients to take their business to the next level. This ensures 
that our clients benefit from a structured approach combining 
relevant, cutting-edge and unique solutions customised to 
their business needs.

A full range of banking and financial services includes tailored 
CVPs designed especially for the agriculture and franchising 
sectors, as well as public sector institutions. Our offering also 
includes debtor factoring, fleet solutions, specialised finance and 
innovative deposit and transactional solutions for high-volume 
and high-value deposit and transactional requirements for 
medium and large businesses.

The strategic choice of collaborating with various external 
partners, including the public sector, has been enormously 
successful, resulting in the award of 18 banking tenders in the 
public sector over the past year. 

Business Banking is well positioned to support the growth of 
SA and our people by enabling business growth through the 
delivery of key initiatives to the business sector that will add 
to the future sustainability of SA. This includes our investment 
in enterprise development, supplier development finance and 
creating easier access to finance mechanisms for black-owned 
SMEs. We will also continue to focus on delivering delightful client 
experiences through the consistent performance of our core 
banking propositions. To do so we will continue to leverage our 
capability in developing digital advances, which includes providing 
machine-learning tools to our frontline client service teams. These 
tools offer rich insights into our clients' banking behaviours that 
will help the teams deliver enhanced client value. A further focus 
will be developing propositions that will unlock new markets and 
new revenue streams, including high-end disruption through 
the delivery of ecosystem-led CVPs that are enabled by digital 
innovation. 

Retail Relationship Banking
RRB provides relationship-based banking services to affluent 
individuals and their households (salaried and self-employed), to 
non-resident clients and embassies, and to SMEs with a turnover 
of less than R30m and their business owners. 

The relationship banking CVP is designed for clients seeking a 
personalised, flexible and proactive approach and caters for 
the more complex financial needs typically associated with the 
abovementioned segments. 

Notwithstanding the benefit from internal client moves mentioned 
earlier, the core business performed strongly, delivering on 
ROE of 31,7% and remains a significant contributor to the overall 
performance of the cluster. A 9,5% increase in loan payouts led 
to 11,4% growth in average assets. The average liabilities growth 
of 7,3% was slower than in previous years, but the business still 
remains a R35bn net funding contributor to the cluster and group. 
The CLR has increased from 21 bps to 32 bps; however, this risk 
outcome is still well below the TTC target range and once again 
confirms RRB's entrenched risk management capabilities and the 
high quality of the portfolio. 

From a strategic perspective the professional-banking 
proposition for the affluent segment provides excellent value 
for money and access to exclusive benefits for clients (such as 
a dedicated banker for the entire family, unlimited domestic 
and 10 international airport lounge visits annually, preferential 
investment rates and tailored credit). We are making progress 
in building a client base for the future (19% CAGR in young 
professional clients over two years), which is compensating for 
the generally low switching rates in the established-professional 
segment. The Nedbank Money app has been well received in this 
market, with more than 70% of potential users having registered.

86

NEDBANK GROUP – ANNUAL RESULTS 2019

SEGMENTAL 
ANALYSIS

Nedbank remains well positioned in the small-business segment, 
with urban market share increasing to 22% as a result of positive 
perceptions of our ability to understand and serve the needs of 
this important sector. We continue to invest in both our banking 
offering and support services, including business registration 
with the CIPC, issuing of BEE certificates and providing support 
through our Simplybiz.co.za platform. From June 2019 business 
users (previously registered for Nedbank Internet Banking) 
can use the Nedbank Money app, online banking channels and 
associated self-service functionality for their business and, 
if applicable, toggle seamlessly between their personal and 
business profile.

A key focus across both segments is the automation and 
fine tuning of our credit assessment and pricing approach to 
maximise takeup as well as transactional cross-sell on the back 
of these assets. The broader efforts of the bank to create more 
self-service functionality, digitise the onboarding processes, 
expand the new Greenbacks money management programme 
and create a worldclass forex offering will greatly benefit this 
business area in coming years.

Consumer Banking
Consumer Banking serves approximately 7,1 million clients in three 
primary subsegments, namely youth, entry-level banking and the 
middle market. These consist mostly of individuals earning less 
than R750 000 per annum, but include some non-individual clients 
as well, primarily stokvels, clubs and societies.

Consumer Banking registered strong underlying growth in 2019. 
Strong growth in advances and deposits were complemented 
by judicious expense management. We saw particularly good 
advances growth in emerging-middle-market (13,4%) and 
upper-entry-level banking (27,5%). This resulted in preprovisioning 
operating profit increasing to 12,8% yoy and the cost-to-income 
ratio decreasing to 60,3%. Growth in impairments off a low base 
has, however, muted headline earnings growth. 

Our focus in Consumer Banking is to be even more client 
centred and deliver even better client experiences. We were the 
most improved of SA's five retail banks in three measures of 
client experience: the Net Promoter Score (NPS), South Africa 
Consumer Satisfaction Index (SAcsi) and Social Media Net 
Sentiment Score.

Digital has been a huge enabler in improving client experiences. 
For example, clients can now easily open an investment product 
on the Nedbank Money app and receive preapproved offers 
for personal loans, credit cards and overdrafts. We are seeing 
exponential growth in the number of clients enjoying these 
experiences on the app.

We have implemented a client-centred, opportunity-based 
cross-sell strategy to close the gap between us and our 
competitors. The strategy is focused on clients’ core banking 
needs, and consists of four pillars, namely everyday banking, 
lending, savings and protection. Early pilot results were highly 
encouraging, and we will be expanding the impact of the 
programme across our branch network in 2020. 

We have also developed a machine-learning tool to help with 
client engagement and cross-selling. This will empower our 
frontline sales staff to have more needs-based and more 
impactful conversations with clients. We are also putting added 
emphasis on switching our lending clients into transactional 
relationships, both through targeted client value propositions and 
better processes.

Transactional Banking
Transactional Banking provides fully inclusive access to banking 
by offering affordable and meaningful banking to clients across 
all income levels, enabling financial inclusion and effective money 
management through key innovations such as MobiMoney, 
Unlocked.Me and savings pockets.

Transactional Banking delivered 3,8% growth in NIR, despite 
client transactional volumes migrating to affordable electronic 
channels and the launch of zero-fee products. The NIR increase 
was driven by new acquisitions and strong growth in the number 
of consistently main-banked clients and value-added services. 
Lowering our banking fees, specifically in respect of our PAYU 
zero-fee product and Unlocked.Me Account, has saved clients 
banking fees while giving them significant access to value. Despite 
the decrease in transactional clients, we continue to acquire 
quality clients, as consistently main-banked clients increased 11,7%.

As part of our digital journey and providing delightful client 
experiences, we launched a simplified onboarding process that 
enables straight-through processing on most of the transactional 
products on the app and online banking. Additional services 
added to the app, such as MyPocket, have offered convenience 
and improved client experience. These digital solutions, as well 
as offerings such as Unlocked.Me and MobiMoney, continued 
to contribute towards growth in revenue and the number of 
consistently main-banked clients. These digital solutions and 
platforms also place Nedbank in a strong position to compete 
with new entrants and existing players in the market.

Card and Payments 
Card and Payments provides card-issuing, acceptance and 
payment products and solutions across all client segments. Card 
and Payments offerings include key innovations such as POSplus, 
scan to pay, Market Edge™ and GAP Access™.

Card and Payments’ headline earnings were driven by good NIR 
growth but was offset by increased impairments that have been 
negatively affected by the impact of macroeconomic conditions 
and other factors. NIR growth was driven by an increase in 
card-issuing volumes of 6% and acceptance of 21%. Competitive 
pressures intensified by the arrival of new entrants, changes in 
client behaviour and regulation continue to put pressure on NIR 
growth. Active cost management remains a focus area, with 
ongoing strategic investments being made into payment solutions 
and client experience.

Our innovation momentum continues in a landscape that is 
experiencing accelerated structural changes driven by regulation, 
innovation and disintermediation caused by the arrival of new 
entrants. Our innovation agenda is dominated by value-adding 
payments and transactions solutions that drive differentiated 
and competitive value propositions. New releases include virtual 
payments, which increase clients' control over spending as well as 
reduce fraud.

As part of our evolved channels, distribution strategy and 
commitment to creating great client experiences, we rolled out 
our first-in-market card delivery solution through Nedbank 
Lockers and at retailers. Nedbank Lockers enable our clients to 
collect their cards 24/7 from convenient locations. Our inretailer 
card collection solution is the result of a strategic partnership 
with retailers to facilitate more accessible and convenient card 
collection and banking for our clients. Card Acceptance launched 
an instore finance service that provides clients and merchants 
with alternative forms of payment and checkout. Additionally, 
Nedbank Card has become the joint market leader in the 
2019 overall South African Customer Satisfaction Index.

NEDBANK GROUP – ANNUAL RESULTS 2019 87

Forex and investment products
Our purpose is to create investment and forex products that 
provide easy and quick client experiences. 

Nedbank's market share of household investments contracted 
from 19,0% (December 2018) to 17,9% (December 2019), impacted 
by our proactive pricing decisions to ensure an appropriate 
balance between margin and volume. We are enhancing our 
analytics to identify the right prospects to optimise our marketing 
and campaigns’ successes.

Following the launch of our online investment capabilities on the 
Nedbank Money app and Online Banking, 36% of new accounts 
were opened digitally for full-year 2019, compared with 6% in 2018. 
For 2019, 53% of notices of withdrawal were submitted digitally, 
compared with 35% in the prior year. Account opening is a fully 
straight-through process that is an easy experience for the client. 
This has resulted in capacity creation inbranch, which will lead to 
cost optimisation over time. 

We are on the journey to further enhance our online investment 
platforms and continue to shift volumes from physical to digital. 
We have introduced maturing investments and have progressed 
well with the development of Nedgroup Investments products to 
be included in the investments product catalogue, which we plan 
to launch in the first quarter of 2020. 

Several investment value propositions have been enhanced, 
including stokvels, tax-free savings accounts, onboarding on 
USSD, new tax-free fixed-deposit accounts, the Corporate Saver 
third-party funds administration platform and a deposit note 
programme at the top end of our commercial base.

With regard to Forex, our aim is to create new and improved 
trade and crossborder payment value propositions across all 
RBB segments. This includes travel cards, foreign banknotes, 
remittances and foreign currency accounts among the 
business-related services that enable clients to import and export 
with well-managed risks.

We have fully digitised the Travel Card capability on the app 
and online banking and continue to focus on digitising other 
services, including investing, saving for travel and transferring 
funds between Foreign Currency Accounts and the Travel Card. 
We have optimised the inward payments processes and will 
later in 2020 optimise the outward payments processes which 
represent a significant portion of the Forex turnover.

Unsecured Lending
Unsecured Lending provides all segments of Consumer Banking 
lending products, which include personal loans, overdrafts and 
student loans, but exclude credit cards.

The personal-loans portfolio of R22,7bn represents the majority 
(97%) of Unsecured Lending's total advances.

Unsecured Lending headline earnings were negatively impacted 
by a R53m decrease relating to the tail end of the impact of 
the reduced maximum NCA rate and a R110m decrease relating 
to increased impairments due to the negative macroeconomic 
forecast, negative collections impact of setoff regulatory change 
and risk normalisation to within the target range, in addition to 
digital-related expense growth, all of which are offset somewhat 
by portfolio growth driving increased revenues and effective 
non-digital-related cost management. 

Personal Loans average advances increased 13,0%, while 
period-end advances were up 10,2% to R22,7bn. New-business 
market share in targeted lower-risk segments was 13%, marginally 
lower than in the previous year as competition for increased 
shares of primary-banked clients intensifies. 

The shift to digital continues to gain momentum, as evidenced 
by the increased origination contribution from the direct channel 
(call centres and digital solution) to more than 32% of total 
volumes, driven primarily by the scaling of personal loans in the 
Nedbank Money app. More than 20% of personal loans disbursed 
to Nedbank clients in the fourth quarter of 2019 were applied for 
through this channel, up from < 1% in the prior year. Consumer 
Overdraft was introduced in the Money app in the fourth quarter 
of 2019, with the app becoming the biggest channel for new 
Nedbank overdrafts – three to four times greater than the 
branch channel. The same digital experience enabling existing 
clients to take up a loan in six clicks and in under three minutes 
was also launched across ATMs and kiosks. More offers and 
growth in Money app users and other digital channels will continue 
to provide material benefits from both a growth and expense 
perspective into 2020 and beyond. The number of personal loans 
paid into a Nedbank transactional account has increased from 
< 70% to about 80% after the scaling of our new client-centred 
onboarding system, which enables onboarding of clients for life 
through a single digital process, materially reducing turnaround 
time. Numerous other new digital products and processes for 
both Nedbank and non-Nedbank clients will be launched over the 
coming months and are expected to provide further impetus to 
digital growth and enhance the market share trajectory for both 
Personal Loans and Transactional Banking.

Furthermore, machine-learning techniques have been enhanced 
in credit-scoring models, which will, along with embedded risk 
and collections excellence, enable sustainable growth within 
the current risk appetite while improving client experiences and 
assisting in growing our main-banked transactional franchise.

Home Loans
Home loans make homeownership dreams a reality by providing 
secured-lending products to the consumer segment, with RRB 
and BB providing these products to their segments directly, 
leveraging off the Home Loans infrastructure for several of the 
administrative processes. 

Continued financial pressure on households, coupled with low 
consumer confidence, resulted in a subdued housing market 
throughout 2019, with the national house price inflation index 
increasing by only 1,7%, compared to December 2018 (Lightstone). 

Nedbank Home Loans grew new business by 6%, compared with 
industry growth of around 4%. Normalising for the migration of 
R1,8bn of mortgage balances from Business Banking to Retail 
Relationship Banking, HE grew 2,7%, driven by a 6% increase 
in NII off the back of book growth of 5,7%, partially offset by 
an increase in the CLR to 12 bps, which is below the target 
range. The stage 2 portfolio decreased to 10,4% as a result of 
amendments made to the SICR partial-arrear methodology. 
The stage 3 portfolio increased to 4,6% and has been impacted by 
changes in court processes and foreclosure delays. Impairment 
coverage on the stage 3 portfolio decreased to 20,03%.

NEDBANK GROUP – ANNUAL RESULTS 2019

SEGMENTAL 
ANALYSIS

The business continues to invest in initiatives to drive profitable 
growth. These include the following: 

•  The Home Loans digital channel, which delivered 24% growth in 

sales and represented 13% of total sales.

•  The Home Loans online portfolio, which added an additional 
digital sales channel in July 2019. Clients are now able to 
apply on the Nedbank Money app for their home loan, using 
a shorter, simplified chat-based application. The app includes 
prepopulation of details of clients' contractual debt from credit 
bureaus which makes the form much quicker for clients to 
complete. 

•  The Home Loans digital channel 1% cashback initiative, which 

continued to reward clients for applying online. Clients are given 
1% cash back (capped at R15 000), based on the value of the 
loan amount registered. The cashback amount is paid into a 
Nedbank salary-funded transactional account.

Continued investment in client experience, resulting in Nedbank 
Home Loans outperforming the industry, rising to number one in 
respect of client satisfaction. Nedbank Home Loans also had the 
best performance in NPS, placing the bank in second place across 
the home loan industry in the latest Consulta SAcsi NPS client 
satisfaction survey.

We remain committed to helping clients who face financial 
hardship and provide a website to educate them about their 
options should they fall behind on their home loan repayments. 
Since launching the programme in 2009, over 36 780 families 
have been able to retain their homes as a result of loan 
restructures, with the programme offering an effective 
rehabilitation process, and the redefault rate on these loans 
being only 18,12%. In addition, over 5 100 financially distressed 

clients were given a fresh start through the Nedbank-assisted 
Sales programme since the start of this offering in 2009. This 
programme gives clients the option to sell their house on the 
private market through an estate agent appointed by Nedbank, 
thereby allowing them to avoid the repossession and distressed 
sale of the house through sheriff auction. Nedbank-assisted Sales 
is fast becoming the preferred choice for distressed clients, with 
78% of them opting for this in 2019.

MFC
MFC's core business is providing vehicle finance to the consumer 
segment through motor dealerships. Used-car finance comprises 
70% of the total loan book, which adds an economic buffer when 
new-car sales are under sustained pressure. In addition, motor 
dealer floor plans (wholesale finance of dealership stock) and key 
vehicle distributor joint ventures are housed in MFC. 

The automotive industry has had a very challenging 2019 due 
largely to a declining economy. The vehicle market contracted by 
1% in 2019, with a further decline of 3,5% anticipated in 2020. 

Headline earnings were impacted by a higher impairment 
charge due to the negative economic climate. This has resulted in 
more repossessions and subsequent writeoffs yoy, as well as an 
increased number of clients requesting debt counselling.

MFC remains committed to providing a quality service to clients. 
The social media launch of the MFC brand in 2019 has seen MFC 
providing educational awareness on the car-buying process to 
both MFC and non-MFC clients. Strong alliance relationships and 
our striving to deliver worldclass digitally enhanced CVPs for our 
clients ensure a consistent and sustainable business.

1 During 2018 an LGD overlay created in lieu of anticipated modelling changes of R285m was allocated entirely to stage 3. In 2019 this LGD overlay was built into the 
model resulting  in it being allocated across all stages. December 2018 was therefore inflated and a comparable total stage 3 coverage for VAF would be 47,0%.

Nedbank Wealth’s HE declined 8,0% to R1 042m, with ROE at 
24,8%, due primarily to the difficult macroeconomic environment 
and poor market conditions. Wealth Management experienced 
a challenging year, with local revenue significantly impacted 
by negative investor confidence and lacklustre GDP growth. 
The international Wealth Management business achieved good 
underlying growth despite being adversely impacted by declining 
interest rates. The Insurance business was negatively affected 
by lower life reserve releases and an increase in weather-related 
claims in the first half of the year. Asset Management’s 
performance was predominantly impacted by AUM outflows 
experienced in the latter part of 2018 and a change in investor 
behaviour toward lower-margin and lower-risk asset classes.

1 During 2016, the group changed its capital allocation 

methodology. The ROE for 2015 would have been 36,7%  
using the updated methodology.

NII increased 3,1% to R1 148m, with steady deposit growth in the 
international business, partially offset by the declining interest 
rate environment in the US, resulting in a decrease in NIM to 
2,17%. The difficult local economic environment contributed to 
an increase in impairments off a low base, resulting in a slightly 
higher CLR of 0,18%.

Negative NIR growth of 1,4% to R3 436m was due to lower 
brokerage income and portfolio management fees in the local 
Wealth Management business, continued pressure on asset 
management fees and a higher non-life claims ratio. This was 
partly offset by robust growth in the international Wealth 
Management business on the back of increased client activity and 
strong growth in AUM. 

The NIR-to-expenses ratio declined 5,3% as a result of pressure 
on revenue and higher frontline staff expenses. The increase in 
costs was due to the international Wealth Management business 
building bench strength for future growth, product expansion 
in Insurance and investment in innovation and digital initiatives. 
Despite this, the business managed to contain cost growth at 
3,4%, which is below inflation.

Wealth Management
The local wealth management industry has experienced a 
challenging environment, with poor economic growth and 
negative investor confidence affecting general trading and 
business volumes. Internationally, private banks were impacted 
by a decline in US interest rates, prolonged Brexit uncertainty and 
competition from ringfenced banks. 

Overall Wealth Management HE declined 14,4% to R252m. Poor 
local market activity negatively impacted brokerage fees, with 
portfolio management fees and commission income declining 
due to clients derisking portfolios to lower-margin products. 
The international Wealth Management business achieved good 
underlying growth in AUM despite difficult macroeconomic 
factors.

The local Nedbank Private Wealth business was named Top 
Private Bank and Wealth Manager in SA for ESG/Social Impact 
Investing and Philanthropic Advice in the 2020 Euromoney Private 
Banking and Wealth Management Survey. Nedbank Private 
Wealth International was named Best Boutique Private Bank at 
the 2019 WealthBriefing MENA Region Awards. 

Asset Management
Muted equity performance across the local asset management 
industry over the past three to five years resulted in a change in 
the AUM mix to lower-margin and lower-risk products. 

Asset Management’s HE declined 5,4% to R319m due to continued 
pressure on margins and the full-year impact of a large 
institutional outflow in 2018. AUM increased 11,4% to R331bn, with 
net inflows of R14,9bn. The low-cost passive business remained 
the largest unit trust multiasset passive provider, while cash and 
fixed-income assets continued to grow with material net inflows. 
At the 2020 Raging Bull Awards, Nedgroup Investments was 
recognised as the Top Offshore Manager for the fifth consecutive 
year and won the award for the Best global Equity Fund at the 
2020 Morningstar award.

Insurance
Insurance HE decreased 6,1% to R471m, driven by higher non-life 
claims and lower life reserve releases, partly offset by improved 
investment returns. The life portfolio was impacted by actuarial 
assumption changes relating to an improvement in mortality for 
credit life, worsening mortality for funeral and deteriorating lapse 
experience. In the first half of the year the non-life portfolio was 
affected by catastrophic weather events resulting in a higher 
non-life claims ratio relative to 2018.

Looking forward
We anticipate continued economic headwinds locally, with 
negative investor confidence contributing to the derisking 
of portfolios to lower-margin products; decreased trading 
and general business volumes; and unpredictable weather 
patterns. Internationally, strong competition from UK 
ringfenced banks is set to further impact lending growth while 
interest rates are expected to decline.

Despite this, Nedbank Wealth is continuously exploring 
opportunities for growth and will focus on providing innovative, 
market-leading client experiences, commercialising digital 
capabilities and investing in our people. Given the pressure on 
traditional income lines, the business is committed to creating 
new revenue streams and managing growth in expenses 
through cost containment initiatives. 

The local and international Wealth Management 
businesses will continue to work together and focus on the 
high-net-worth-client strategy, with the goal of moving 
from an affluent-banking-led business to a high-net-worth 
advice-led business. The businesses will leverage opportunities 
within the group, build the Nedbank Private Wealth brand and 
embed digital capabilities that enhance client experience.

Robust growth in life EV of 14,4% to R3 188m was due to strong 
VNB and the reduction of acquisition costs, offset by deteriorating 
lapse experience. Life VNB increased 10,8% to R421m as a result 
of growth in credit life policy sales and higher average funeral 
premiums. Non-life gross written premiums remained flat at 
R1 180m due mainly to pressure on non-life volumes, offset by an 
increase in vehicle value-added product premiums.

Asset Management will focus efforts on delivering excellent 
long-term performance and leveraging its Best of Breed™ 
track record. Continued industry pressure is anticipated, but 
the business is well positioned with best-in-class offerings in 
the growing global, cash, multiasset and low-cost categories. 
Asset Management will continue to invest in digital properties, 
grow the international franchise and leverage Nedbank’s 
brand and distribution footprint.

Insurance remains committed to enhancing client experience 
through expanding its innovative solutions while further 
improving data and digital capabilities. The business will 
continue to focus on penetrating the Nedbank client base in 
line with its bancassurance strategy.

We remain committed to achieving our ROE of greater than 
or equal to 28% in the medium term and 30% in the long 
term. We have revised our cost-to-income ratio to less than 
or equal to 65% in the medium and long term as a result of 
structural changes exerting pressure on revenue streams. 
To this end we will focus on creating internal efficiencies, 
delivering delightful client experiences and building new 
income streams.

NEDBANK AFRICA REGIONS

Although sub-Saharan Africa GDP growth was mixed in 
2019, it continues to grow faster than that of SA and provide 
opportunities for diversifying earnings and returns over the 
longer term. GDP growth in most of the SADC countries in which 
we operate was more than 1,0%; Mozambique grew at 3,0%.

Our strategy remains to own, manage and control banking 
operations in SADC and East Africa, and to provide our 
clients with access to a banking network in West and Central 
Africa through our strategic investment in and alliance 
with the pan-African banking group ETI, which operates in 
36 African countries.

SADC SUBSIDIARIES

Our SADC subsidiaries’ performance was impacted by several 
unusual items. Policy uncertainty, increased government 
expenditure and a lack of foreign direct investments have 
severely damaged the Zimbabwean economy, contributing to 
hyperinflationary conditions. By year-end the CPI inflation index 
reached 552. Zimbabwe officially adopted hyperinflationary 
accounting effective 1 July 2019 with an overall HE impact 
of R186m.

SEGMENTAL 
ANALYSIS

Once-off tax adjustments and non-operational writeoffs 
reported in H1 2019, reduced HE by R61m thereby contributing to 
the poor performance.

These new products and services have been well received in their 
respective markets and we expect an improved performance 
going forward.

We continue to build a strong core business to deliver an improved 
performance into the future. The business had a marginal 
decline in client numbers, due mainly to new account closure rules 
introduced mid-2019. Notwithstanding this, revenue per client 
rose by 4,5% as we acquired quality clients and deepened client 
relationships. Client retention in retail improved as we improved 
our digital transactional and lending client value propositions. 

In line with transforming our business for a digital age, we 
registered a 94% increase in our active app users and grew the 
number of point-of-sale (POS) devices by 27%, resulting in a 10% 
increase in merchant turnover to R9bn. 

Headcount decreased by 1% to 2 582, while our branch footprint 
increased by 5% to 103 and the number of ATMs declined by 1%. 
In our markets our branch and ATM footprint is much lower than 
that of our key competitors and new investments are limited to 
high-growth micro markets and the minimum required presence 
by regulation. The decline in ATMs is due to optimisation of our 
footprint and driving our POS cash-back strategy.

We continued investing in our businesses to give our clients 
improved offers and client experiences. Some of the initiatives 
included the following: 

•  Rolling out the award-winning Nedbank Money app offering 
to our businesses in Lesotho, Namibia, Malawi and Eswatini. 
The new Money app (Africa) had an additional 49 new features 
compared to the old Nedbank App Suite (Africa); in Zimbabwe, 
we also enhanced our mobile solution.

•  Launching a new pay-as-you-go account in Namibia, targeting 
the entry-level and middle-market client segments. This was 
part of making our solutions simpler and more convenient for 
our clients while understanding that these clients are interested 
in managing and controlling their overall banking costs. 

•  Automating the overall business to improve efficiency and client 

service. 

Branches
BRANCHES

ETI (WEST AND CENTRAL AFRICA)

ETI’s financial recovery continued albeit with earnings growth 
slowing. The performance is driven by sustained recovery from 
three regions, offset by ongoing poor performance from the 
Nigerian franchise. The performance for the nine months 
to 30 September 2019 has been driven by the following:

•  Strong earnings growth and good returns were registered in 
the Anglophone West Africa and Francophone West Africa 
regions reflecting the quality of the franchise.

•  The recovery in the financial performance in the Central, 
Eastern and Southern Africa (CESA) region continued.

•  Nigeria’s performance deteriorated further, due to persistently 
elevated NPLs, adverse regulatory intervention and ongoing 
economic headwinds.

The collaboration between ETI and Nedbank continued during the 
year, with some business opportunities between the two groups 
yielding positive results. We continued to increase the number 
of Nedbank wholesale clients doing their transactional banking 
with ETI to 118 from 110 in 2018. More than 245 accounts have been 
opened at Ecobank businesses across the continent. We have also 
continued to grow treasury activities.

Financial highlights
Africa Regions delivered HE of R457m, a 35% decrease from 2018, 
and produced an ROE of 7,7%. This performance was primarily 
impacted by the poor results from Zimbabwe. 

In ETI, the financial recovery has continued with sustained 
profitability albeit at a slower growth rate.  Associate income 
from ETI was R668m, growing by 10%, while HE grew by 17% to 
R437m.

This result reflects the sustained strong performance from 
ETI’s core West African operations, including Côte d’Ivoire and 
Ghana; a recovery in Central, Eastern and Southern Africa’s 
business performance; while the Nigerian business continued to 
underperform.  

Our SADC banking subsidiaries had a mixed performance amid 
a challenging macroeconomic environment. HE declined by 94% 
to R20m, largely driven by losses in Nedbank Zimbabwe as a 
result of a hyperinflationary environment and once-offs. Excluding 
Nedbank Zimbabwe, the HE of our SADC operations grew 
by 0,6%.

Notwithstanding the challenging macroeconomic environment, 
average gross advances grew by 0,3% and, excluding Zimbabwe, 
by 3,6%. Average deposits grew by 2,0%, excluding Zimbabwe at 
11,1%. NIM declined by 27 bps, reflecting the competitive conditions 
in the market. NIR increased by 1,2% in an environment of limited 
fee increases, reflecting our focus on acquiring primary-banked 
clients. Excluding Zimbabwe, NIR grew by 5,1%. 

The CLR increased to 101 bps due to a significant increase in 
impairments from R113m to R232m, marginally breaching the 
upper limit of our CLR target of 100 bps. Excluding unusual 
recoveries in the prior year our CLR is in line with 2018.  

Expenses have been well managed and only increased by 0,5% to 
R2 427m, underpinned mainly by the management of headcount 
growth and other costs. Our cost-to-income ratio increased 
by 2,7% to 78,5%; excluding Zimbabwe the cost-to-income ratio 
was 80,4%.

Looking forward
Sub-Saharan Africa GDP is expected to grow by 3,5% in 
2020, which is a slight improvement on the 3,3% growth 
in 2019. Nedbank remains committed to long-term and 
profitable growth in our Africa Regions business and seeks 
to leverage these growth opportunities. Our ambition is to 
give our clients access to the best financial services network 
in Africa and we will deploy capital to optimise returns for the 
group. Despite a challenging macroeconomic environment, 
we expect Africa Regions to be a positive contributor to 
group earnings.

In SADC, for 2020, we expect earnings to improve off a low 
base, with continued difficult economic conditions in SA spilling 
over to growth in the southern Africa region. We will adapt 
our businesses to the new economic normal to drive stronger 
revenue growth through: 

• 

investing in digitisation and automation to be 
more competitive;

•  continuing to focus on credit risk management and a 

stronger control environment; 

•  tapping into Mozambican growth opportunities; and

•  reconfiguring the shape of balance sheet and business 

operations in Zimbabwe.

Our focus will remain on the delivery of the ETI board-driven 
strategic agenda, commercialisation of collaboration initiatives 
and the increase of business flows.

Our financial outlook in the next two to three years is to deliver 
returns greater than 15% and cost-to-income of below 65%. 
Over the long term, greater than five years, we aim to deliver 
ROEs above 20% and cost-to-income less than 60%.

Favourable

Unfavourable

•  ETI financial performance improved but growth slowing.

•  Difficult economic conditions most of our markets.

•  Revenue per client increased.

•  Cost grew by less than inflation.

•  Developed new CVPs enabling growth in transactional clients, 

assets and deposits.

•  Nedbank Zimbabwe negatively affected by hyperinflation 

resulting an a headline loss of R108m (2018: profit of R142m).

•  Once-off tax adjustments and non-operational writeoffs in H1.

•  CLR increased due to challenging economic environment.

•  Challenging environment for ETI in Nigeria.

NET INTEREST INCOME

Favourable

Unfavourable 

•  Positive mix changes due to stronger growth in RBB average 

•  Negative endowment impact due to lower net endowment 

advances with higher margins, compared with slower growth in 
CIB average advances with lower margins.

•  Liability rate benefit as a result of improved pricing on fixed 

deposits.

balances.

•  A decline in the Personal Loans margin due to the treatment 
of interest on the stage 3 portfolio and the extended writeoff 
period as well as the impact of NCA pricing caps.

•  Widening of the prime – JIBAR spread in 2019 versus 2018.

•  Competitive pricing on wholesale advances.

•  Negative liability mix due to stronger growth in wholesale 

sources of funding.

•  The implementation of IFRS 16 resulted in an interest expense 
on the lease liability for operating leases being included in NII. 
Previously, operating lease expenses were included in total 
operating expenses.

•  Higher levels of low-yielding HQLA held in the banking book.

NII SENSITIVITY ANALYSIS 

•  At December 2019 the NII sensitivity of the group’s banking book for a 1% parallel reduction in interest rates, measured over 12 months, 

was 1,54% of total group ordinary shareholders’ equity, which is below the board’s approved risk limit of < 2,25%.

•  This exposes the group to a decrease in NII of approximately R1 346m before tax, should interest rates decrease by 1% across the yield 
curve, measured over a 12-month period. Nedbank London and Wealth International NII sensitivities are, however, measured at a 0,5% 
instantaneous decrease in interest rates.

•  The group’s NII sensitivity exhibits very little convexity and will therefore also result in an increase in pretax NII of approximately similar 

amounts should interest rates increase by 1%.

•  The group’s NII sensitivity is actively managed through on- and off-balance-sheet interest rate risk management strategies for the 

group’s expected interest rate view and impairment sensitivity over the cycle.

Lending spread (banking financial assets)

Credit loss ratio (CLR)

Current CLR target range (60–100 bps)

•  The group’s lending spread increased by 1 bp in the current year to 241 bps. This was primarily due to positive advances mix changes, with 

RBB average advances growing faster than CIB average advances. 

•  The group’s CLR increased by 29 bps yoy to 82 bps at 31 December 2019, which is within the group TTC target range of 60 bps to 100 bps.

Favourable 

Unfavourable  

•  While impairments have increased significantly off a low base, 
the CLR remains around the midpoint of our target range.

•  The adverse macroeconomic environment continued to place 

pressure on corporates and consumers.

•  The portfolios secured by mortgage bonds continue to perform 
well with CLRs for Home Loans and Property Finance at 0,07% 
and negative 0,02%, respectively.

•  High delinquency levels increased impairments by 66,2% to 

R6 129m. 

•  The RBB portfolio deteriorated due to higher distressed 

restructures in MFC and poor collections in December 2019.

1 During the year the group's Cash Operating Division was transferred from CIB to RBB and the concurrent review of the activity-justified transfer pricing led 

to some costs shifting to CIB, reflected in the fees and insurance and activity-justified transfer pricing lines. This had no impact on the group's expenses or 

expense growth.

3 Includes building depreciation charges of R451m (December 2018: R423m).  

4 Includes furniture depreciation charges of R358m (December 2018: R328m), consumables and sundry expenses. 

5 Includes consulting and professional fees, included in fees and insurances, communication and travel, and other IT-related spend, included in computer

1 With effect from 1 January 2019 the accounting treatment of additional tier 1 capital instruments changed in terms of IFRS. The taxation relief on interest paid 
on additional tier 1 capital instruments is now accounted for in comprehensive income (previously in equity). However, the underlying interest paid on additional 
tier 1 capital instruments is still accounted for in equity. Comparative information has not been restated as the amounts are not material.

ZIMBABWE TIMELINE 

1 OCT 2018
Monetary policy statement, 
presented by the Governor 
of the Reserve Bank of 
Zimbabwe, introduces  
RTGS  as a means  
of exchange

22 FEB 2019
Zimbabwe gazetted two 
legal instruments1; resulting in 
recognition of RTGS$ as legal 
tender and the initial exchange 
rate (set by government) was 
RTGS$ 2,5 to 1 US$

11 OCT 2019
The Zimbabwe Public 
Accountants and Auditors 
Board’s announced 
that Zimbabwe is in 
hyperinflation effective 
from 1 July 2019

31 DEC 2018
NAV: R170m
RTGS$ 3,88 : 1 US$
RTGS$ 0,27 : 1 ZAR

31 DEC 2019
NAV: R123m
ZIM$ 16,77 : 1 US$
ZIM$ 1,20 : 1 ZAR

EFFECTS OF CHANGE IN EXCHANGE RATES 

At 31 December 2018 a FCTR loss of R755m (R499m after non-controlling interests) was recognised by Nedbank Group for the 
application of an implied Old Mutual rate (RTGS$3,88: US$1) on the net assets of Nedbank Zimbabwe. At a statutory level Nedbank 
Zimbabwe was required by law to report its NAV using the official exchange rate RTGS$1:1US$. During the period, due to the effects 
of weakening of the RTGS$ and ultimately the Zimbabwe dollar (ZIM$ 16,77: US$ 1), there was an impairment of legacy assets 
(amounts due in foreign currency prior to 22 Feb 2019) of R89m (R67m post tax) due to uncertainty regarding the recovery thereof.

Key drivers of hyperinflation
IAS 29 requires transactions and balances to be stated in terms of the measuring unit current at the end of the reporting period, 
using a general price index, to account for the effect of loss of purchasing power during the period. The group elected to use 
the Zimbabwe CPI index, provided by the Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe, as the general price index as this provides an observable 
published indicator of changes in the general purchasing power of the country.

At the beginning of the period of applying IAS 29, the components of equity are restated by applying a general price escalation 
factor from 1 January 2019 to 31 December 2019. The Zimbabwe CPI index increased 6,21 times during this period which resulted 
in a monetary loss of R246m by debiting current-year earnings against a credit in equity. Hyperinflation accounting will result in 
an equity rebase every period. The rebase is impacted by changes in the Zimbabwe CPI index, changes in the Zimbabwean dollar 
foreign exchange rate and underlying balance sheet growth. 

All items recognised in the statement of comprehensive income are adjusted by applying the change in the general price index from 
the dates when the items of income and expenses were initially earned or incurred to the end of the reporting period. This resulted 
in an increase in certain lines of the income statement, totalling R80m, and an equal but opposite loss included in the net monetary 
loss. The net headline earnings of the income statement indexing is nil.

The carrying amounts of non-monetary assets (ie fixed assets, debtor prepayments, etc) accounted at historical cost have been 
adjusted to reflect the change in the general price index from 1 January 2019 to 31 December 2019. This resulted in an increase in 
assets of R30m and the recognition of a monetary gain of R30m.

•  Equity investments in the banking book are primarily undertaken by CIB as part of its private-equity business. Any additional 

investments are undertaken as a result of operational or strategic requirements or as part of debt restructuring.

•  The ETI strategic investment value has declined by R571m since 2018, resulting in an overall decrease in the portfolio that 

is equity-accounted.

•  The Nedbank board sets the overall risk appetite and strategy of the group for equity risk, and business develops portfolio 
objectives and investment strategies for its investment activities. These address the types of investment, expected business 
returns, desired holding periods, diversification parameters and other elements of sound investment management oversight.

•  The ETI strategic investment is accounted for under the equity method of accounting and is therefore not carried at fair value.

1 Ecobank Transnational Incorporated is a pan-African bank and its shares are listed on the stock exchanges of Nigeria, Ghana and Ivory Coast.
2 Equity-accounted earnings included a R25m profit in December 2019 and a R96m loss in December 2018 related to SBV Services Proprietary Limited.
3 Includes on-balance-sheet and off-balance-sheet exposure.

The percentage holding in ETI at December 2019 was 21,2% (December 2018: 21,2%). The net exposure movement is due to loan 
repayment and the reduction of off-balance-sheet exposure.

1 Applicable period: 1 October 2018–31 March 2019.
2 Applicable average exchange rate: 1 January 2019–30 December 2019.
3 Applicable period: 1 January 2019–30 December 2019, i.e the cumulative difference at each quarter of the earnings and other comprehensive income 

converted at an average USD/ZAR rate compared with the related US dollar balances converted at the quarter-end spot rate.

Accounting for associate income, together with Nedbank's share of ETI's other comprehensive income and movements in Nedbank's 
FCTR, resulted in the carrying value of the group's strategic investment in ETI decreasing by 17,6% from R3,2bn at 31 December 
2018 to R2,7bn at 31 December 2019. ETI's share price, which is thinly traded, decreased by 53,4% during the year, which resulted 
in the market value of the group's investment in ETI decreasing to R1,3bn (28 February 2020: R1,2bn). Due to the prolonged 
decline of ETI's listed share price below its carrying value, Nedbank performed a VIU test and reviewed its impairment provision 
at 31 December 2019. Since management's VIU analysis exceeds the current carrying value of our investment no adjustment 
to the R1,0bn impairment provision was required. The VIU calculation includes inputs from external sources and is a key area 
of judgement.

•  Deposits grew by 9,5% to R904,4bn, with total funding-related liabilities increasing by 9,4% to R964,1bn.

 » With 93,8% of all funding-related liabilities emanating from client deposits, Nedbank’s loan-to-deposit ratio improved to 88,1% 

as growth in deposits outpaced growth in loans and advances.

 » RBB and CIB grew deposits faster than nominal GDP of 4,4%, with growth rates of 5,1% and 9,0%, respectively. Wealth 
grew deposits by 1,4% and Africa Regions by 2,5% as a result of softer markets in these jurisdictions. The Centre grew 
by 34,3%, largely driven by growth in NCDs on the back of increased appetite for duration, based on client interest rate 
expectations and slower economic growth. 

 » Transactional deposits increased by 1,9% while investment deposits increased by 8,0% as retail and commercial clients 

managed more liquidity into non-transactional term investments. RBB transactional deposits grew by 4,3% while it grew 
non-transactional investment deposits faster at 5,1%. CIB transactional deposits remained flat while non-transactional 
investment deposits grew by 10,9%. Slow economic growth and the search for higher yields in a weak economic environment 
were the primary drivers for commercial depositors rotating out of short-term working capital or transactional deposits into 
longer-term non-transactional investment deposits.

 » Call and term deposits grew by 6,7% while savings and fixed deposits grew marginally. NCDs and other deposits, which include 

structured deposits, grew by 21,7% as clients lengthened their deposit duration in an environment of slow growth where interest rate 
expectations have started to favour the downside.

 » Foreign currency liabilities, which represent only 2,8% of Nedbank’s total deposits, increased by 10,4%. It should be noted that foreign 
currency liabilities are largely matched against foreign currency assets, resulting in an insignificant foreign currency mismatch when 
expressed as a percentage of the total balance sheet.

 » Nedbank has maintained a strong balance sheet position in 2019 as observed through the funding profile, liquidity buffers and key 

liquidity risk metrics.

• 

• 

In 2019 Nedbank’s funding mix tilted towards increased funding from commercial and wholesale deposits. These depositors, through 
increased appetite for term products, contributed to a stronger contractual funding profile, where Nedbank’s quarterly average 
long-term funding ratio of 30,2% compared favourably with the industry average of approximately 26,5%. The increase in commercial 
and wholesale funding contributions, which supported a stronger funding and liquidity profile, was offset by a reduction in funding 
contributions from households, capital markets and foreign funding sources, where the latter sources of funding are typically 
more expensive.

In 2020 Nedbank will continue to focus on growing retail and commercial deposits, with a focus on providing competitive and innovative 
transactional and investment products, as well as an ongoing emphasis on meeting client needs through product, pricing, innovation 
and digital client experiences.

1 Only banking and/or deposit-taking entities are included in the group LCR and the group ratio represents an aggregation of the relevant individual net cash 
outflows (NCOF) and the individual HQLA portfolios across all banking and/or deposit-taking entities, where surplus HQLA holdings in excess of the minimum 
requirement of 100% have been excluded from the aggregated HQLA number in the case of all non-SA banking entities. The above figures reflect the simple 
average of daily observations over the quarter ending December 2019 for Nedbank Limited and the simple average of the month-end values at 31 October 2019, 
30 November 2019 and 31 December 2019 for all non-SA banking entities.

2 Only banking and/or deposit-taking entities are included in the group NSFR and the group data represents a consolidation of the relevant individual assets, liabilities 

and off-balance-sheet items.

•  Nedbank Group remains well funded with a strong liquidity position, underpinned by a significant quantum of long-term funding, 
an appropriately sized surplus liquid-asset buffer, a strong loan-to-deposit ratio consistently below 100% and a low reliance on 
interbank and foreign currency funding.

•  The group's quarterly average LCR exceeded the minimum regulatory requirement of 100% applicable in 2019, with the group 

maintaining appropriate operational buffers designed to absorb seasonal and cyclical volatility in the LCR.

 » The LCR, calculated using the simple average of daily observations over the quarter ending December 2019 for Nedbank Limited 
and the simple average of the month-end values at 31 October 2019, 30 November 2019 and 31 December 2019 for all non-SA 
banking entities, was 125,0%.

 — Nedbank's portfolio of LCR-compliant HQLA increased to a quarterly average of R178,0bn, up from 2018 when the portfolio 

totalled R162,7bn.

 — The increase in the LCR is attributable to growth in the HQLA portfolio as well as a decrease in net cash outflows. The increase in 

the long-term funding profile was the primary contributor to the decrease in LCR net cash outflows.

 — Nedbank will continue to procure additional HQLA to support balance sheet growth while maintaining appropriately sized 

surplus liquid-asset buffers.

•  Nedbank exceeded the minimum NSFR regulatory requirement of 100% effective from 1 January 2018, with a December 2019 ratio 
of 113,0%. The slight decrease in the NSFR is largely attributable to business-as-usual mix changes across both assets and liabilities. 
The key focus in terms of the NSFR is to achieve ongoing compliance within the context of balance sheet optimisation.

STATEMENT OF 
FINANCIAL POSITION 
ANALYSIS

 » A strong funding profile was maintained in 2019, with Nedbank recording a three-month-average long-term funding ratio of 30,2% 
in the last quarter of the year. The focus on proactively managing Nedbank’s long-term funding profile contributed to a strong 
balance sheet position and improved liquidity risk metrics. Nedbank has continued to run a more prudent long-term funding profile 
when compared with the industry average of approximately 26,5%.

 — Nedbank successfully issued R8,9bn in senior unsecured debt, while R5,8bn matured during the year. 

Nedbank successfully issued R2,7bn at its green bond auctions in 2019, contributing to overall senior unsecured debt issuance. 

 — Nedbank issued tier 2 capital instruments of R2,5bn and redeemed R2,5bn during the year, in line with the group’s capital plan.

 » While foreign currency funding reliance remains small, at 2,8% of total deposits, Nedbank continues to focus on growing this funding 

source in support of funding base diversification where the proceeds can be applied to meet funding requirements for foreign 
advances growth at attractive interest rates.

•  The group’s 2019 ICAAP, ILAAP and Recovery Plan Reports were updated and approved by the board in accordance with annual 

business-as-usual processes and submitted to the Prudential Authority.

Nedbank manages capital levels incorporating its own internal assessment of the level of risk being taken, expectations of the rating 
agencies, the requirements of the regulators and the returns expected by shareholders. Nedbank also seeks to ensure that its capital 
structure makes use of the range of capital instruments and capital management activities available in optimising the financial efficiency 
and loss absorption capacity of its capital base. 

Nedbank performed extensive and comprehensive stress testing during this period and concluded that the group remains well 
capitalised relative to its business activities, the board’s strategic plans, risk appetite, risk profile and the external environment in which 
the group operates.

The group remains well capitalised at levels significantly above the minimum regulatory requirements. The CET1 ratio of 11,5% was 
impacted by the implementation of IFRS 16 on 1 January 2019 (R658m reduction in equity and R3,4bn increase in RWA), the ongoing 
investment in software development costs as part of the group’s Managed Evolution programme, the adverse impact of changes in 
foreign currency translation reserves, an increase in RWA due to migration in certain credit portfolios,  credit model updates and capital 
optimisation initiatives.

1 Nedbank Limited refers to the SA reporting entity in terms of regulation 38 (BA700) of the regulations relating to banks, issued in terms of the Banks Act 

(Act No 94 of 1990).

2 Total MRC is measured at 11,5%, in line with the transitional requirements, and excludes bank-specific Pillar 2b and D-SIB capital requirements.

•  Credit RWA increased by R28,6bn, largely as a result of book growth, model updates and the rating migrations of certain counters 

within the CIB portfolio.

•  Counterparty credit risk and credit valuation adjustment RWA increased by R4,6bn and R6,1bn respectively, driven by an increase in 

hedging activities and the performance of the rand against major currencies over the period.

•  Equity RWA growth of R5,8bn, includes new investments and fair-value revaluations of existing equity exposures. 

•  Trading market RWA decrease of R9,3bn, driven primarily by lower exposures to foreign exchange, interest rates, inflation and credit 

spreads on the back of reduced trading activity during the period.

•  Operational RWA growth of R3,1bn, mainly driven by the migration to the second-generation model, which resulted in an increase in the 

AMA capital as well as an increase in TSA capital, driven by movements in GOI.

to nedbank.co.za/content/nedbank/desktop/gt/en/aboutus/information-hub/capital-and-risk-management-reports.html.

•  Nedbank Group maintained a solid capital adequacy position, with the capital ratios having improved since 30 June 2019 after 

absorbing the adverse impact of IFRS 16 implemented in January 2019, adverse changes in foreign currency translation reserves, 
further investment in software development costs as part of the group’s Managed Evolution programme, and an increase in RWA due 
to migration in certain credit portfolios and credit model updates. The CET1 capital was supported by reasonable earnings generation 
in a tough macroeconomic environment, an appropriate dividend policy and capital optimisation across the balance sheet. The group’s 
sound capital structure is further supported by the following:

 » A focus on issuing fully loss-absorbent capital, with Basel III fully compliant capital making up 98% of the group’s total capital 

structure, having issued R19,3bn of new-style tier 2 capital and R6,9bn of new-style additional tier 1 capital since the implementation 
of Basel III in 2013. 

 » RWA density of 55% (RWA/total assets), which compares favourably with local and international peers. 

•  The group’s tier 1 capital position was positively impacted by the issuance of new-style additional tier 1 instruments of R3,5bn in 2019, 

offset by the further grandfathering of preference shares in January 2019, in line with the Basel III transitional arrangements.

•  The group’s total capital position was further impacted by the redemption of new-style tier 2 capital instruments of R2,5bn and the 

issuance of new-style tier 2 capital instruments of R2,5bn in 2019, in line with the group’s capital plan.

•  Nedbank Group’s gearing (including unappropriated profits) remains below the Regulatory Leverage Ratio Framework requirement of 

less than 25 times at 15,0 times.

•  Nedbank Group’s minimum economic capital requirement increased by R7,1bn during the year, primarily due to the following: 

 » A R5,4bn increase in credit risk economic capital largely as a result of book growth and rating migrations of certain portfolios within 
CIB. Counterparty credit risk increased, as a result of an increase in hedging activities and the performance of the rand against 
major currencies over the period.

 » Respective increases of R737m and R798m in business risk economic capital and operational risk economic capital, which were 

driven mainly by annual model parameter updates, reflective of a higher risk environment.

•  Nedbank Group’s AFR increased R6,8bn in 2019, mainly as a result of the following:

 » Financial reserves increasing R3,0bn post dividend payments to shareholders of R7,2bn.

 » A R3,0bn increase in tier B AFR following the issuance of R3,5bn new-style additional tier 1 capital and the issuance of R2,5bn of 
new-style tier 2 capital instruments, which was offset by the grandfathering of old-style preference shares of R531m and the 
redemption of new-style tier 2 capital instruments of R2,5bn.

The obligation to deliver the matched shares issued under the voluntary and compulsory share scheme is subject to time and other 
performance criteria. 

This obligation exists over 31 December 2019 and therefore has a dilutive effect. 

Matched shares are not issued and are therefore not recognised as treasury shares. However, until they are issued, there remains a 
potential dilutive effect.

The additional tier 1 notes represent perpetual, subordinated instruments, with no redemption date. The instruments are redeemable, 
subject to regulatory approval, at the sole discretion of the issuer from the applicable call date and following a regulatory or tax event. 
The payment of interest is at the discretion of the issuer and interest payments are non-cumulative. In addition, in certain conditions the 
regulator may prohibit Nedbank from making interest payments. Accordingly, for accounting purposes the instruments are classified as 
equity instruments and disclosed as part of the non-controlling interest.

1 Old Mutual Limited retains a strategic minority shareholding of 19,9% in Nedbank Group, held through its shareholder funds, under the terms of the relationship 

agreement. The above shareholding is inclusive of funds held on behalf of other beneficial owners and increased after the Old Mutual Managed Seperation had been 
completed as a result of the subsequent odd-lot offer and due to movements in shares held on behalf of policyholders. The relationship agreement with Old Mutual 
Limited is available at https://www.nedbank.co.za/content/dam/nedbank/site-assets/AboutUs/About%20Nedbank%20Group/Old%20Mutual/Nedbank%20Old%20

DEFINITIONS

12-month ECL This ECL represents an ECL that results from a default event on financial instruments occurring within the 12 months 

after the reporting date (or a shorter period if the expected life of the financial instrument is less than 12-months), weighted by the 
probability of that default occurring.

Assets under administration (AUA) (Rm) Market value of assets held in custody on behalf of clients.

Assets under management (AUM) (Rm) Market value of assets managed on behalf of clients.

Common-equity tier 1 (CET1) capital adequacy ratio (%) CET1 regulatory capital, including unappropriated profit, as a percentage of 

total risk-weighted assets.

Cost-to-income ratio (%) Total operating expenses as a percentage of total income, being net interest income, non-interest revenue and 

share of profits or losses from associates and joint arrangements.

Coverage (%) On-balance-sheet ECLs divided by gross banking loans and advances. Coverage excludes ECLs on off-balance-sheet 

amounts, ECL and gross banking loans and advances on the fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI) portfolio and 
loans and advances measured at fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL).

Credit loss ratio (CLR) – (% or bps) ECL charge on banking loans and advances as a percentage of daily average gross banking loans and 

advances. Includes the ECL recognised in respect of the off-balance-sheet portion of loans and advances. 

Default Default occurs in respect of a particular client in the following instances:

•  When the bank considers that the client is unlikely to pay its credit obligations to the bank in full without the bank having recourse 

to actions such as realising security (if held).

•  When the client is past due for more than 90 days on any material credit obligation to the bank. Overdrafts will be considered 

as being past due if the client has breached an advised limit or has been advised of a limit smaller than the current 
outstanding amount.

• 

In terms of Nedbank‘s Group Credit Policy, when the client is placed under business rescue in accordance with the Companies 
Act, 71 of 2008, and when the client requests a restructure of his facilities as a result of financial distress, except where debtor 
substitution is allowable in terms of the regulations.

At a minimum a default is deemed to have occurred where a material obligation is past due for more than 90 days or a client has 
exceeded an advised limit for more than 90 days. A specific impairment is raised against such a credit exposure due to a significant 
perceived decline in the credit quality.  

Diluted headline earnings per share (DHEPS) (cents) Headline earnings divided by the weighted-average number of ordinary shares, 

adjusted for potential dilutive ordinary shares.

Dividend cover (times) Headline earnings per share divided by dividend per share.

Economic profit (EP) (Rm) Headline earnings less the cost of equity (total equity attributable to equity holders of the parent, less goodwill, 

multiplied by the group's cost-of-equity percentage).

Effective taxation rate (%) Direct taxation as a percentage of profit before direct taxation, excluding non-trading and capital items.

Earnings per share (EPS) (cents) Earnings attributable to ordinary shareholders, divided by the weighted-average number of ordinary 

shares in issue.

Forward-looking economic expectations The impact of forecast macroeconomic expectations in determining significant increase in 

credit risk (SICR) and the measurement of ECL.

Gross operating income growth rate less expenses growth rate (JAWS ratio) (%) Measure of the extent to which the total income 

growth rate exceeds the total operating expenses growth rate.

Headline earnings (Rm) The profit attributable to equity holders of the parent, excluding specific separately identifiable 

remeasurements, net of related tax and non-controlling interests.

Headline earnings per share (HEPS) (cents) Headline earnings divided by the weighted-average number of ordinary shares in issue.

Lifetime ECL An ECL on any default event between the reporting date and the end of the lifetime of the financial asset.

Life insurance embedded value (Rm) The embedded value (EV) of the covered business is the discounted value of the projected future 

after-tax shareholder earnings arising from covered business in force at the valuation date, plus the adjusted net worth.

Life insurance value of new business (Rm) A measure of the value added to a company as a result of writing new business. Value of new 

business (VNB) is calculated as the discounted value, at the valuation date, of projected after-tax shareholder profit from covered 
new business that commenced during the reporting period, net of frictional costs and the cost of non-hedgeable risk associated with 
writing new business, using economic assumptions at the start of the reporting period.

NEDBANK GROUP – ANNUAL RESULTS 2019

DEFINITIONS & 
ABBREVIATIONS

Net asset value (NAV) (Rm) Total equity attributable to equity holders of the parent.

Net asset value (NAV) per share (cents) NAV divided by the number of shares in issue, excluding shares held by group entities at the end 

of the period.

Net interest income (NII) to average interest-earning banking assets (AIEBA) (%) NII as a percentage of daily average total assets, 

excluding trading assets. Also called net interest margin (NIM).

Net monetary gain/(loss) (Rm) Represents the gain or loss in purchasing power of the net monetary position (monetary assets less 

monetary liabilities) of an entity operating in a hyperinflation environment.

Non-interest revenue (NIR) to total income (%) NIR as a percentage of operating income, excluding the impairments charge on loans 

and advances.

Number of shares listed (number) Number of ordinary shares in issue, as listed on the JSE.

Off-balance-sheet exposure Undrawn loan commitments, guarantees and similar arrangements that expose the group to credit risk.

Ordinary dividends declared per share (cents) Total dividends to ordinary shareholders declared in respect of the current period.

Performing stage 3 loans and advances (Rm) Loans that would otherwise not be in default, but are classified as defaulted due to 

regulatory requirements, ie directive 7 and the new curing definition.

Preprovisioning operating profit (PPOP) (Rm) Headline earnings plus direct taxation plus an impairments charge on loans and 

advances. 

Profit attributable to equity holders of the parent (Rm) Profit for the period less non-controlling interests pertaining to ordinary 

shareholders, preference shareholders and additional tier 1 capital instrument noteholders.

Profit for the period (Rm) Income statement profit attributable to ordinary shareholders of the parent, before non-controlling interests. 

Return on equity (ROE) (%) Headline earnings as a percentage of daily average ordinary shareholders' equity.

Return on equity (ROE) (excluding goodwill) (%) Headline earnings as a percentage of daily average ordinary shareholders' equity 

less goodwill.

Return on tangible equity (%) Headline earnings as a percentage of daily average ordinary shareholders' equity less intangible assets.

Risk-weighted assets (RWA) (Rm) On-balance-sheet and off-balance-sheet exposures after applying prescribed risk weightings 

according to the relative risk of the counterparty.

Stage 1 Financial assets for which the credit risk (risk of default) at the reporting date has not significantly increased since 

initial recognition.

Stage 2 Financial assets for which the credit risk (risk of default) at the reporting date has significantly increased since initial recognition.

Stage 3 (Defaulted loans and advances, non-performing defaulted advances) Any advance or group of loans and advances that 
has triggered the Basel III definition of default criteria and is in line with the revised SA banking regulations. For retail portfolios 
this is product-centred and a default would therefore be specific to a client or borrower account (a specific advance). For all other 
portfolios, except specialised lending, it is client- or borrower-centred, meaning that should any transaction within a borrowing group 
default, all transactions within the borrowing group would be treated as having defaulted. At a minimum a default is deemed to 
have occurred where a material obligation is past due for more than 90 days or a client has exceeded an advised limit for more than 
90 days. A specific impairment is raised against such a credit exposure due to a significant perceived decline in the credit quality.

Stage 3 ECL (Rm) ECL for banking loans and advances that have been classified as stage 3 advances and specifically impaired, net of the 

present value of estimated recoveries.

Tangible net asset value (Rm) Equity attributable to equity holders of the parent, excluding intangible assets.

Tangible net asset value per share (cents) Tangible net asset value (NAV) divided by the number of shares in issue, excluding shares held 

by group entities at the end of the period.

Tier 1 capital adequacy ratio (CAR) (%) Tier 1 regulatory capital, including unappropriated profit, as a percentage of 

total risk-weighted assets.

Total capital adequacy ratio (CAR) (%) Total regulatory capital, including unappropriated profit, as a percentage of total risk-weighted 

assets. 

Value in use (VIU) (Rm) The present value of the future cashflows expected to be derived from an asset or cash-generating unit.

Weighted-average number of shares (number) The weighted-average number of ordinary shares in issue during the period listed on 

the JSE.

NEDBANK SAYS ‘YES’ TO YES
The Youth Employment Service (YES) was launched by President Cyril Ramaphosa in 2018 as 
an initiative between government, business, labour and civil society to tackle a national plan 
to build economic pathways for the youth with the aim of reducing the youth unemployment 
rate in SA through the creation of one million work opportunities over three years. At Nedbank 
we are committed to our role in the broader SA society and to delivering on our purpose of 
using our financial expertise to do good. On 26 April Nedbank signed the YES CEO Pledge, 
committing to go beyond business as usual by creating meaningful job opportunities for our 
youth, thereby becoming the biggest corporate contributor to the YES initiative to date. Of the 
more than 3 300 YES recruits for 2019, Nedbank has onboarded 250 into the organisation and 
the balance was placed with our sponsored implementation partners.
